With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the engine to keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt
some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting rust
and corrosion.
If equipped with a battery for an electric starter, recharge the battery once a month while the engine is in storage. This will help to
extend the service life of the battery.
Removal from Storage
Check your engine as described in the chapter CHECK BEFORE OPERATION.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling,
be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinders were coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
Transporting
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the engine-powered equipment on the
transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.
Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
