OPERATION
AFTER EACH USE
After your equipment has been unused for longer than 20 days, prepare the engine for storage
with the following process:
STEP 1: CLEAN
Wait for the engine to cool, then clean the engine with a dry cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT CLEAN USING WATER . The water will gradually enter the engine and
cause rust damage. Apply a thin coat of rust preventive oil to all metal parts.
STEP 2: FUEL
To protect the fuel tank during storage, fill the tank with gasoline that has been treated with a
fuel stabilizer additive.
STEP 3: LUBRICATE
1. Change the engine oil.
2. Clean out the area around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug and pour one tablespoon
of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole.
3. Replace the spark plug, but leave the spark plug cap disconnected.
4. Pull the Starter Handle to distribute oil to the cylinder. Pull the recoil starter until you feel
resistance. This is when the piston is on the compression stroke where the intake and
exhaust valves are closed. Keeping the intake and exhaust valves closed will prevent rust, as
moisture cannot get inside the combustion chamber.
