Whenever the unit will not be used for 30 days or longer, use the
following procedures to prepare it for storage.
Clean external parts thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil
to all metal surfaces.
Drain all the fuel from the carburettor and the fuel tank.
To remove the remaining fuel from the fuel lines and carburettor
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 stops running.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine will no longer start.
NOTE
All stored fuels should be stabilized with a fuel stabilizer
such as STA-BIL®.
Gasoline stored in the carburettor for extended periods can
cause hard starting, and could also lead to increased serv-
ice and maintenance costs.
Remove the spark plug and pour about 7 grams of 2-stroke
engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Place
a clean cloth over the spark plug hole. Slowly pull the recoil
starter 2 or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the interior of the en-
gine. Reinstall the spark plug. (Do not connect the spark plug
cap. )
Before storing the unit, repair or replace any worn or damaged
parts.
