Long Term Storage
Whenever the unit will not be used for 30
days or longer, use the following proce-
dures to prepare it for storage:
■ Clean external parts thoroughly.
■ Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank.
IMPORTANT!
All stored fuels should be stabilized with a
fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL if
Shindaiwa One oil with fuel stabilizer is
not used.
To remove the remaining fuel from the
fuel lines and carburetor and with the fuel
drained from the fuel tank.
1. Prime the primer bulb until no more
fuel is passing through.
2. Start and run the engine until it stops
running.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine
will no longer start.
CAUTION!
Gasoline stored in the carburetor for
extended periods can cause hard
starting, and could also lead to
increased service and maintenance
costs.
■ Remove the spark plug and pour
about 1/4 ounce of 2-cycle mixing oil
into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole. Slowly pull the recoil starter
2 or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the
interior of the engine. Reinstall the
spark plug.
■ Before storing the unit, repair or
replace any worn or damaged parts.
■ Remove the air cleaner element from
the unit and clean it as outlined on
page 11.
