WARNING!
To avoid severe injury or death, DO
NOT pour fuel from engine or siphon fuel by mouth.
1.
To prevent serious injury from fuel fires, empty fuel tank
by running engine until it stops from lack of fuel. DO NOT
attempt to pour fuel from engine.
2.
Run the engine while waiting until the remaining fuel is
consumed.
WARNING!
NEVER leave the engine unattended
when it is running and NEVER run the engine in an
enclosed area.
3.
Begin servicing the cylinder bore as per the following
instructions.
Oil Cylinder Bore
WARNING!
When lubricating cylinder bore, fuel
may spray from the spark plug hole. To prevent
serious injury from fuel fires, follow these
instructions:
1.
Carefully disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away
from the spark plug.
•
Keep the disconnected spark plug wire securely
away from the metal parts where arcing could
occur.
•
Carefully attach the spark plug wire to the
grounding post, if provided.
•
Disconnect the battery at the negative terminal
first, if the engine is equipped with a D.C.
electric starter.
•
Turn off all the engine switches.
•
Remove the ignition key, if provided.
2.
Remove the spark plug.
3.
Squirt 1oz. (30ml) of clean engine oil into the spark plug
hole.
4.
Cover the spark plug hole with a rag to prevent fuel from
spraying from the spark plug hole when the starter rope is
pulled.
NOTE: for engines equipped with a recoil starter, proceed
to Step 5. For engines equipped with electric starters,
proceed to Step 6.
5.
Grasp the starter cord handle:
•
Pull the starter cord handle out slowly using a
full arm stroke.
•
Repeat once. This will distribute the oil
throughout the cylinder to prevent corrosion
during storage.
•
Proceed to Step 7.
6.
Push starter button or turn ignition switch key to "START":
position. Immediately releases the starter button or turn
the ignition switch key to the "OFF" position. This will
distribute the oil throughout the cylinder to prevent
corrosion during storage.

Oil
Change the oil if NOT changed within the last 3 months. See
Checking and Changing the Oil earlier in this section.
Off-Season Storage
Gasoline that will be stored longer than 30 days needs to be
pre-treated upon purchase with fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL®
to prevent gum and varnish from forming in the engines fuel and
intake system. Improper fuel storage can result in hard starting,
no starting, stalling and poor performance. If the gasoline in
your engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have
the carburetor, and other fuel system components, serviced or
replaced.

Remove the rag from the spark plug hole.
Install the spark plug.
Carefully disconnect the spark plug wire from the
grounding post, if provided.
Connect the spark plug wire plug wire to the spark plug.
CAUTION:
Failure to use a fuel stabilizing additive
such as STA-BIL® or completely run the engine until
it's out of fuel before off-season storage may result
in damage to your engine's carburetor. Subsequent
damage would not be covered under the
manufacturer's warranty.
Remove all fuel from tank by running engine until it stops
from lack of fuel.
WARNING!
Never leave engine unattended while
it is running.
Change the oil. See Changing the Oil earlier in this section.
Remove the spark plug and pour approximately a 1⁄2-ounce
of engine oil into the cylinder. Replace spark plug and
crank it slowly to distribute oil.
Clean debris from around the engine and the muffler.
Touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that
may rust with a light film of oil.
Store in a clean, dry and well ventilated area away from any
appliance that operates with a flame or pilot light, such
as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any
area with a spark producing electric motor, or where power
tools are operated.
If possible, also avoid storage areas with high humidity,
because that promotes rust and corrosion.
Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or
oil leakage.
