Transporting and storage

When storing engine for more than 30 days:
! Store in a dry and clean area
! Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops or add gasoline preservative and
running engine after adding for several minutes to circulate preservative.
Warning! Gasoline is flammable. Fuel or fuel vapors may explode. Keep
sparks and open flames from the working area.
! Change engine lubrication oil.
! Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine.
! Remove spark plug, pour one teaspoon of fresh engine oil into cylinder. Re-install spark
plug without the spark plug wire attached. Pull starter rope slowly several times to distribute
the oil in the engine.
! Slowly pull start handle until the resistance is reached, then stop pulling. At that point,
valves are closed, that will prevent dust and rust from entering cylinder.
! Cover engine well to prevent dust.
Warning! When you service the engine, inspect the blade, or clean the
underside of the housing: make sure to tip the engine with the spark plug
up. Transporting or tipping the engine with the spark plug down will cause:
Engine smoking
Hard starting
Spark plug fouling
Oil or petrol saturation of the air filter.
