Never store the machine with gasoline in the fuel tank in a
confined area with bad ventilation. Gasoline fumes could reach
open flames, sparks and cigarettes etc.
To avoid the engine freezing and problems starting the engine,
leave the engine running outdoors for 5-10 minutes after your
work has been completed, then shut the engine off. This will
ensure all moisture will disappear that would otherwise cause
starting problems. After engine shut down, allow the engine to
cool before storing in any enclosure.
If the machine is to be stored for a longer period than 30 days, the
following procedures are recommended.
1. Start the engine and let it run until it stops due to lack of fuel.
2. Change the engine oil if it has not been done for 3 months.
3. Remove the spark plug and add about 1oz.(30ml) of engine oil
in the spark plug hole. Pull recoil handle manually and crank
the engine a couple of times to disperse the oil within the
cylinder. Replace spark plug.
4. Clean the whole machine thoroughly.
5. Lubricate all the parts as shown in LUBRICATION section
above.
6. Inspect the machine for damage, and repair if necessary.
7. Touch up any paint damage.
8. Apply rust protection to the metal surfaces.
9. Store the machine indoors when possible.
Transporting
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15
minutes before loading the machine on the transport vehicle.
A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite
some materials.
Move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position and keep the engine
level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
