Engine
Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, pis-
ton ring, etc. from corrosion.
1. Remove the spark plug, pour about one table-
spoon of engine oil (See page 36) into the spark
plug hole and reinstall the spark plug. Recoil start
the engine by turning over several times (with igni-
tion off) to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
2. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression.
Then stop pulling. (This prevents the cylinder and
valves from rusting).
3. Clean exterior of the multi-purpose engine and
apply a rust inhibitor.
4. Store the multi-purpose engine in a dry, well-ven-
tilated place, with the cover placed over it.
5. The multi-purpose engine must remain in a verti-
cal position when stored, carried or operated.
