Long Term Storage
1. Remove the fuel cap, tip the unit and drain the fuel into an approved container. Reinstall the fuel
cap.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures that all fuel has been drained from
the carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 5 drops of any high quality motor oil or
2-cycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark
plug.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace
damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts.
Preparing the Unit for Use after Long Term Storage
1. Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder.
NOTE: Do not use fuel that has been stored for more than 30 days. Dispose of old fuel according to
federal, state and local regulations.
