HELPFUL TIPS & SUGGESTIONS
Engine Oil
Storage Precautions
Engine Cylinder
Align notch on pulley
with hole at top of cover.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve
lever in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that
promotes rust and corrosion.
If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and
carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor
ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any appliance
that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes
dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or
where power tools are operated.
Change the engine oil (see page 27 ).
Remove the spark plug (see page 37 ).
Pour a tablespoon (5 10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
Pull the starter rope several times to disribute the oil in the cylinder.
Reinstall the spark plug.
Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt and the notch on
the starter pulley aligns with the hole at the top of the recoil starter
cover. This will close the valves so moisture cannot enter the engine
cylinder. Return the starter rope gently.
