To prevent possible explosion or ignition of vaporized fuel,
do not store equipment with fuel in tank or carburetor in an
enclosure with open flame (for example, a furnace or water
heater pilot).
Before the equipment is put into storage for any period
exceeding 30 days.
1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank and fuel lines.
2. Start the engine and run until all the fuel is used from the
carburetor float bowl and the engine stops.
3. While the engine is still warm, drain the crankcase oil and
replace with the proper weight oil corresponding to the
season the equipment will be next used.
4. Remove the spark plug and squirt a small amount of
engine oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the starter a few
times to distribute oil in the cylinder and reinstall the
spark plug.
5. Top off if necessary. See engine manual for details.

o put the equipment into service after an extended
period of storage.
1. Check for loose parts and tighten if necessary.
2. Fill the fuel tank and then check the engine oil level.
