STORAGE

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not clean the machine with
engine running.
A To avoid the danger of exhaust fume
poisoning, do not
engine in a closed building without
proper ventilation.
A When storing the engine just after
running, let the engine cool off.
Before storing the engine for more than a few months,
remove any dirt on the machine, and:
1. Drain the coolant in the radiator. Open the cock at
the bottom of the radiator, and remove the pressure
cap to drain water completely. Leave the cock open.
Hang a note written "No water" on the pressure cap.
Since water may freeze when the temperature drops
below 0°C (32°F), it is very important that no water is
left in the machine.
2. Remove dirty engine oil, fill with new oil and run the
engine for about 5 minutes to let the oil penetrate to
all the parts.
3. Check all the bolts and nuts, and tighten if
necessary.
4. Remove the battery from the engine, adjust the
electrolyte level, and recharge it. Store the battery in
a dry and dark place.
5. When the engine is not used for a long period of
time, run it for about 5 minutes under no load every
2 to 3 months to keep it free from rust. If the engine
is stored without any running, moisture in the air may
condense into dew over the sliding parts of the
engine, resulting in rust there.
6. If you forget to run the engine for longer than 5 to 6
months, apply enough engine oil to the valve guide
and valve stem seal and make sure the valve works
smoothly before starting the engine.
7. Store the engine in a flat place and remove the key
from engine.
8. Do not store the engine in a place where has
flammable materials such as dry grass or straw.
9. When covering the engine for storage, let engine
and muffler cool off completely.
10.Operate the engine after checking and repairing
damaged wirings or pipes, and clearing flammable
materials carried by mouse.
