LONG TERM STORAGE

When storing your compactor for long periods do the following:

1.Run the engine at idle speed for 3-5 minutes.

2.Stop the engine. Drain the engine crankcase oil while the engine is still warm. Fill Engine crankcase with fresh oil.

3.Remove the rubber plug (Figure 41) on the rocker arm cover and add about 2 cc of lube oil. Reinstall rubber plug.

5.For electric start type compactors, turn the engine for 2 or 3 seconds with the decompression lever set in the non-decompression position, and the starter key at the START position. DO NOT start the engine.

6.Pull the decompression lever up. Pull the recoil starter grip slowly. STOP when it feels tight. This closes the intake and exhaust valves (compression position) , and helps prevents ruts from forming.

7.Wipe any oil or dirt that may have accumulated on the compactor.

8.Store compactor in a cool dry place out of the reach of children or unauthorized personnel
