Drain engine oil and fill engine with approx. 1.0 litre of
corrosion protection oil.

Detach fuel line from the fuel tank (on the machine side) to the
fuel feed pump. Fill a suitable container with approx. 0.5 litre

automatic decompression to the neutral position and rotate
the engine slowly for approx. 20 revolutions with the
crankhandle.
