STORAGE
WARNING! Keep the engine away from sources of open flame such as the pilot light of a furnace, stove, water
heater or other appliances when storing with fuel in the tank, as an ignition source can ignite gasoline vapors.
WARNING! Transport the engine with an empty fuel tank.
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your engine in good condition. The steps below will help to keep
rust and corrosion from impairing your engine's function and appearance and will make the engine easier to start
when used again.
The following precautions should be taken if storing your engine for a period exceeding 30 days, or for seasonal storage.
1.
Store in a clean dry area.
2.
Change the oil while the engine is still warm.
3.
Clean the debris, chaff or grass from the engine's surface.
4.
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a proper receptacle for storage.
5.
Remove the spark plug. Place 1 teaspoon or 5 ml of oil into the spark plug hole.
6.
Pull starter rope slowly 8-10 times to properly coat the cylinder bore and piston for storage. Replace spark
plug and tighten. Any residual oil may burn off in subsequent starts. This may result in white smoke
emission from muffler.
7.
Store this engine in horizontal position with the spark plug up. Do not store or transport with the spark
plug down.
IMPORTANT ! Storing or transporting with the spark plug down will result in hard starting and/or engine smoking.
STORING ENGINE WITH FUEL
1.
If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the
hazard of gasoline vapour ignition.
a.

furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer.
b.
Avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor.
c.
Avoid any area where power tools are operated.
2.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, as this promotes rust and corrosion.
3.
Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.
4.
Cover the engine once the engine and exhaust system are cool. Some materials can ignite or melt if the
engine and/or exhaust system is hot. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover.
a.
Do not use a nonporous cover, as this will trap moisture around the engine and promote rust
and corrosion.
5.
Store with gasoline that does not contain ethanol or a similar alcohol-based fuel additive. Fuel with alcohol-
based additives may Phase Separate into gasoline, alcohol and water when stored for more than a
few weeks.
TRANSPORTING THE ENGINE
