Remove the spark plug and pour about 1 teaspoon of 10W30 Engine oil into the spark plug hole. Reinstall
the spark plug. With the 3 in 1 switch in the “OFF” position pull the recoil starter cord several time to coat the
cylinder walls with oil.
Slowly pull the recoil starter until you feel the engine build compression (when you feel resistance). Leave the
engine in this state as this will prevent any corrosion on the cylinder walls if stored for a long period of time.
