Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant
as described in

Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as necessary.
Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
Clean the air filter.
Extend the recoil starter rope to check its condition. If the
rope is frayed, have it replaced immediately by a qualified
service center.
Remove all hoses. Coil the hoses and store as shown.
Do not allow the hose to become kinked.
Pull the handle release knob out and lower the handle to
the down position.
Store the unit and accessories in an area that does not
reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or
other sources of heat that could dry out the pump seals.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
Pull the starter grip and rope three or four times to clean
lubricant from the combustion chamber.
Remove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe lubricant from
the spark plug and return it to the cylinder.
Reconnect the spark plug wire.
