sure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel tank.
2.
Start the engine and let it run until the unit stops to
remove fuel from carburetor.

Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the combus-
tion chamber. Pull starter rope slowly several times to
coat internal components. Replace spark plug (Figure

NOTE:
Store the unit in a dry place and away from possi-
ble sources of ignition such as a furnace, gas hot water
heater, gas dryer, etc.
