Engine Oil

1. Change the engine oil

(see page 9).

2. Remove the spark plug

(see page 10).

3. Pour 1 - 2 teaspoons (5 ~ 10 cc) 

of clean engine oil into the 
cylinder.

4. Pull the recoil starter several 

times to distribute the oil.

5. Reinstall the spark plug.

Storage Precautions

If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and 
carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor 
ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any 
appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, 
or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric 
motor, or where power tools are operated.

If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that 
promotes rust and corrosion.

If there is gasoline in the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve in the OFF 
position (see diagram, TYPE 1 Step 1 on page 4).

Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.

With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the engine to keep 
out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some 
materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous 
cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting rust and 
corrosion.

Removal From Storage 

Check your engine as described in the 

BEFORE OPERATION 

CHECKS

 section of this manual (see page 3).

If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with 
fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be 
sure it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and 
deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.

If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the 
engine will smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.

TRANSPORTING

Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility of 
fuel leakage. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position (see diagram, 
TYPE 1 Step 1 on page 4).

Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by this 
engine for any procedures that should be followed for transporting.

TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS

Engine will not start

Engine lacks power 

Possible Cause

Correction

Fuel valve is OFF.

Move the fuel valve lever to ON.
