Prepare Engine for
Long Term
(Seasonal)
Storage if needed
If you will not be able to start the grinder regularly, you must prepare the engine for
long term storage to prevent gum deposits from forming and causing malfunction of
the engine.
Prepare engine for long term storage by:
• Removing all gasoline from the tank and carburetor
OR
• Adding fuel stabilizer to the gasoline (following manufacturer’s instructions)
Fuel stabilizer steps:
1. Ensure gas tank is full.
2. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank.
3. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to enter the fuel
system.
4. Shut off engine.
5. Disconnect spark plug wire and remove spark plug.
6. Add one teaspoon oil through spark plug hole.
7. Place rag over spark plug hole and turn starter (or pull the recoil) a few times to
lubricate the combustion chamber.
8. Replace spark plug, but do not reconnect the spark plug wire.
WARNING: GASOLINE FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARD
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. Drain the fuel into an approved container OUTDOORS and
far away from open flame. NEVER store an engine with fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated
spaces where fuel vapor can come in contact with
• Static electric sparks.
• Sparks from electric wiring, batteries, or running engines.
• Sources of heat (such as a hot engine or exhaust).
• Open flames, including pilot lights.
