STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and in the carburetor, there is
the possible hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Choose a well-ventilated storage area
away from heat, sparks, flames, and any appliance that operates with a flame such as
a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Avoid any area with a spark-producing electric
motor, garage door openers, or where power tools are operated.
Avoid storage areas with high humidity which causes rust and corrosion. Leave the fuel
valve lever in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
Position the equipment so the engine is level to avoid fuel or oil leakage. When
the engine and exhaust system are cool, cover the engine to keep out dust. A hot
engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt certain materials. Do not use sheet
plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover can trap moisture around the engine causing
rust and corrosion.
Removal From Storage
Check your engine as described in the BEFORE OPERATION chapter of this manual. If
refueling is required, only use fresh gasoline.

TRANSPORTING

Transport only when engine is cool. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you
and can ignite some materials. Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the
possibility of fuel leakage. Position the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. Secure the
engine to prevent movement during transporting to prevent potential injury and damage
to the engine.
