STORING YOUR ENGINE

Storage Preparation

Proper storage preparation keeps your engine trouble-free and clean. The following steps will assist in keeping rust and corrosion from

impairing your engine’s function and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when using again.

Cleaning

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean all exterior surfaces and apply a light lm

of spray penetrating lubricant.

• Do not allow water to enter into the exhaust ports or into the heat shield openings (intake port). Water that passes through these

areas can cause damage to the engine. Use a rag to wipe down heat shield if cleaning is required.

• Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning.

• It’s best to use compressed air to clean debris from engine.

FUEL HANDLING

1. Add fuel stabilizer, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Turn the red fuel knob to the ON position after adding fuel stabilizer.

3. Start the engine.

4. Run the engine outdoors for 5 minute to be sure that treated gasoline has circulated through the carburetor.

5. Stop the engine.

Long Term (more than 30 days)
