ENGINE STORAGE

If storing your engine for long periods, make the following preparations.

1.Operate the engine for about 3 minutes and then stop.

CHART 3

2.Stop the engine. Drain the engine lube oil while the engine is still warm and fill with new oil.

3.Pull the recoil starter slowly. Stop when it feels tight. This closes the intake and exhaust valves (in compression position) and helps prevent rust from forming.

4.Wipe the oil and dirt from the engine and store in a dry place.
