TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
When transporting the engine, turn the fuel valve OFF and keep the engine level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite.
Before storing the unit for an extended period;
1.Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2.Drain the fuel tank and carburetor into a suitable gasoline container:
A.Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
B.Remove the carburetor drain bolt and drain the carburetor. C.Turn the fuel valve to the ON position and drain the fuel in the
fuel tank into the container.
D.Retighten the carburetor drain bolt so that the float chamber and washer cannot be warped, and turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.

3.Change the engine oil (page 19 ).
4.Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. This closes the valves, and protects them from dust and corrosion.
5.Coat areas that may rust with a light film of oil. Cover the engine and store it on a level surface in a dry, dust free area.
