STORAGE/ TRANSPORTING
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your engine trouble free and looking good. The following steps
will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your engine’s function and appearance, and will make the engine
easier to start after storage.
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean all exterior surfaces,
touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force water into the air cleaner or muffler opening. Water
in the air cleaner will soak the air filter, and water that passes through the air filter or muffler can enter the cylinder,
causing damage. Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool
for at least half an hour before washing.
