Before storing the unit for an extended period:
1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2. Drain the fuel.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions. Perform this task in a well ventilated area with the
engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area
during this procedure.
a. Unscrew the fuel filler cap (see page 17), remove the fuel filter,
and empty the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container. We
recommend using a commercially available gasoline hand pump
to empty the tank. Do not use an electric pump. Reinstall the fuel
filter and the fuel filler cap.
b. Loosen the maintenance cover screw and remove the
maintenance cover (see page 43).
