Long Term Storage

Whenever the unit will not be used for 30 days or longer, use the following

procedures to prepare it for storage:

■Clean external parts thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil to all metal surfaces.

■Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank.

IMPORTANT!

All stored fuels should be stabilized with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.

To remove the remaining fuel from the fuel lines and carburetor and with the fuel drained from the fuel tank:

1.Prime the primer bulb until no more fuel is passing through.

2.Start and run the engine until stops running.

3.Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine will no longer start.

CAUTION!

Gasoline stored in the carburetor for extended periods can cause hard start- ing, and could also lead to increased service and maintenance costs.

■Remove the spark plug and pour about 10 cm3 (.25 oz.) of 2-cycle mixing oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Slowly pull the recoil starter 2 or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the interior of the engine. Reinstall the spark plug.

■Before storing the unit, repair or replace any worn or damaged parts.

■Remove the air cleaner element from the carburetor and clean it thoroughly with soap and water. Let dry and reassemble the element.

■Store the unit in a clean, dust-free area.
