Storage

Note
If storage is for longer than
30 days, a stabiliser can be added
to the fuel. Contact your dealer or
the customer service centre.
Engines, which are stored for
longer than 30 days, should not
have any fuel in the tank to prevent
the formation of residue in the fuel
system, in particular on important
parts of the carburettor.
Leave the engine running until

the tank runs out of fuel and the
engine stops.
Change oil. See "Changing the

oil".
Remove the spark plug and pour

approx. 15 ml of engine oil into
the cylinder. Re-install the spark
plug and briefly activate the
starter to distribute the oil.
14
Remove dirt around the engine,

under the finger guard and
under, around and behind the
exhaust. Apply a light film of oil to
areas which could rust.
Store in a clean, dry and well

ventilated area away from units
which operate with a flame or a
warning lamp, e.g. heating
equipment, boilers or tumble-
dryers. Areas should also be
avoided in which a spark-
generating electric motor is
situated or in which electric tools
are used.
If possible, storage areas with a

high air humidity should not be
selected either, as this promotes
the formation of rust and
corrosion.
Store the unit on a flat surface. If

the unit is on an incline, fuel or oil
may run out.
Operating manual for engine
Procedure following
prolonged storage
Check the engine as described in

the section "Checking the engine
before start-up".
If the fuel was drained prior to

storage of the unit, fill up the tank
with fresh petrol. If a petrol can is
used for refuelling, ensure that it
contains fresh petrol.
If the cylinder was oiled during

storage, the engine generates a
little smoke when it is started.
This is normal.
