DANGER
CAUTION
When the engine is not used for more than 30 days, store it after servicing as follow in order
to prevent the starting trouble or improper operation caused by degenerated fuel.
1. After draining the fuel from the fuel tank, operate the engine until it stops when the fuel is
used up.
2. Wash the inside of fuel tank and the fuel filter with new kerosene.
3. Removing the spark plug, inject a small quantity of new special oil for 2-cycle engine
through the plug hole. After idling the engine slowly a few times with the recoil starter,
install the spark plug and stop it at the position where a little resistance is felt when the
recoil starter is pulled again.
4. Clean the external surfaces with a piece of soft cloth, and store it at a place where it is free
from moisture and fire.

LONG-TERM STORAGE

When handling the fuel and kerosene, take sufficient care for fire. There is
a risk of explosion or fire.
Do not store the engine with the fuel left in the tank.
Deteriorated oil could clog the fuel pipes to the carburetor fuel filter, or
other, and cause improper operation of the engine.
