Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.

Perform this task in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not

smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area during this procedure.

2. Change the engine oil.

3. Remove the spark plug, and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the

cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil, then reinstall

the spark plug.

4. slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is

coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are

closed. Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it from internal

corrosion.
