! WARNING

EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY!

Never operate engine-powered equipment

indoors without a proper exhaust system, ample fresh air ventilation and an operable carbon monoxide detector.

6Perform air cleaner maintenance as instructed in Periodic Maintenance.

7Plug the exhaust outlet to prevent moisture, dirt, bugs, ect. from entering.

2.

Use fresh gasoline and fill the fuel tank after each day’s use to

 

reduce problems with moisture condensation if this is a gasoline

 

engine.

3.

Keep the battery in a well-charged condition.

! WARNING

Battery gas is explosive. Wear safety glasses

and do not smoke while servicing batteries. Lead acid batteries give off a highly explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by flame, electrical arcing or smoking.

4. After each use push the equipment throttle knob or lever to the

middle of its speed range. Then, if ice forms on the linkage during

storage it will be easier to start the engine.

OUT-OF-SERVICE PROTECTION

Protect an engine that will be out of service for more than 30 days as follows:

1Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature then, shut-off the fuel supply and let the engine run until it stops.

2If the equipment will not be operated for more than 30days, add a fuel preservative (ie. Sta-Bil) to the equipment fuel tank. Follow the instructions on the container label. Unless a preservative is added, gasoline will deteriorate causing fuel system corrosion, gum formation and varnish-like deposits which can lead to hard starting and rough operation.

3Drain oil from the engine while it is still warm. Refill with fresh oil and attach a tag stating the viscosity of the oil used.

4To prevent rust in the cylinder bore, remove the spark plug and pour 30mL (2 tbsp. or 1oz.) of SAE 30 oil in the opening. Turn the crankshaft several times by hand and reinstall the spark plug.

5Clean the outside of the engine with an oiled cloth.

8Disconnect the battery (negative (-) cable first) and follow the battery or equipment manufacturer’s storage instructions.

9Cover the engine with a plastic sheet or canvas and store in a dry place.

RETURNING THE ENGINE TO SERVICE

1Remove the cover and all protective wrapping and the plug from the exhaust outlet.

2Check the tag on the oil base. Change the oil if the viscosity is not appropriate for the expected ambient temperatures.

3Check the fuel filter and fuel lines to make sure they are secure and have no cracks.

4Check that the choke, throttle and governor linkages move freely.

5If so equipped, clean and check the battery according to the battery or equipment manufacturer’s instructions and connect the battery cables (positive (+) cable first).

6Start the engine. The initial startup may be slow and there may be smoke and rough operation for a few minutes until the oil in

the cylinder burns off. If the engine does not start, clean or replace the spark plug as it may have been fouled by the oil added to the cylinder when the equipment was stored.
