Transport
To avoid any spillage of fuel and oil is it important that the engine is placed horizontal
during transport.
Storage
Let the engine run till it stops.
Loosen the drain screw on the carburettor and drain the remaining fuel.
Reinstall the drain screw, and mount the fuel tube.
Keep the old fuel in an approved container.
Remove the sparkplug and poor 1 tablespoon of oil into the cylinder, mount the sparkplug.
Do not mount the sparkplug cap. Pull the sparking cord, until there is resistance. This will
close the valves and protect them from rust.
Protect the oil with a thin layer of oil to avoid rust.
