STORAGE & TRANSPORTING
16
7.2 REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Check your engine as described in the page 6 and 7.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh fuel. If you keep a
container of fuel for refuelling, be sure that it contains only fresh fuel. Fuel oxidizes and
deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinders were coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at
start-up. This is normal.
7.3 TRANSPORTING
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before loading the
engine-powered equipment on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn
you and can ignite some materials.
Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
