NOTICE:
The use of a pump protector is strongly encouraged to
prevent cold weather damage during storage over the
winter months.
Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant
as described in Adding/Checking Engine Lubricant in
the Operation section of this manual.
Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as necessary.
Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
