WARNING
When storing fuel or equipment with fuel in
tank:
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water
heaters, or other appliances that have a pilot
light or other ignition source because they can
ignite vapours.
When Transporting Equipment:
Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel
shut-off valve OFF.
The following precautions should be taken if storing your engine for a period
exceeding 30 days, or for seasonal storage.
• While engine is still warm, change oil
• Clean engine of surface debris or grass
• Drain all fuel from fuel tank into proper receptacle for storage
• Remove spark plug. Place 1 teaspoon or 5ml of oil into spark plug hole
• Pull started rope slowly 8-10 times to properly coat the cylinder bore and piston for
storage. Replace spark plug and tighten. Any residual oil may burn off in subsequent
starts. This may result in white smoke emission from muffler.
• It is best to store the engine in a horizontal position with the spark plug up. Do not store
or transport with the spark plug down.
NOTE: Storing or transporting with the spark plug down will result in hard starting and/or
engine smoking.
• Store in a clean, dry area
• When removing unit from storage, only use fresh petrol. Perform operation checks (see
Periodic Maintenance Schedule) before starting engine
** Engine power will decrease 3.5% for every 300 metres above sea level and for
1% for each 5.6 degrees Celsius above 25 degrees Celsius. The engine will operate
satisfactorily at an angle up to 15 degrees.
We recommend that you see an authorized dealer for all maintenance and service of the
engine and engine parts. Use only genuine Vyking Force parts.
