Engine Oil
Change the engine oil (see page 45).
Engine Cylinder
1. Remove the spark plug (see page 49), and pour approximately one
teaspoon (5 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the
engine several revolutions to distribute the oil, then reinstall the
spark plug.
2. Reinstall the spark plug cap on the spark plug securely.
3. Reinstall the spark plug inspection cover.
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.
Battery
Charge the battery before storing the generator (see page 58).
