Helpful tips and suggestions when storing your engine
Storage Preparation
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your engine trouble free and looking good. The following steps will
help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your engine's function and appearance, and will make the engine easier to
start when you use it again.
Cleaning
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean all exterior surfaces, touch
up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
Using a garden
hose or pressure washing equipment can force water into the air cleaner or muffler opening. Water in the
air cleaner will soak the air filter, and water that passes through the air filter or muffler can enter the cylinder, causing
damage.
Fuel
Petrol will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Deteriorated fuel will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that
clog the fuel system. If the petrol in your engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor, and
other fuel system components, serviced or replaced. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very
warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel problems may occur within a few months, or even less if
the petrol was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation are not covered
under Warranty.
Adding a fuel stabilizer or additive to extend fuel storage life
When adding a petrol stabilizer,
fil
l
the fuel tank with fresh petrol. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of petrol for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh fuel.
1. Add the petrol stabilizer by following the manufacturer's instructions.
2. After adding a petrol stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that treated fuel has replaced the
untreated fuel in the carburetor.
Draining the fuel tank and carburetor warning
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. Stop
the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Refuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
1. Place an approved petrol container below the carburetor, and use a funnel to avoid spilling the fuel.
2. Remove the drain bolt, and then move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
3. After all the fuel has drained into the container; reinstall the drain bolt and washer. Tighten the drain bolt securely.
