separator drain screw.
Pour 1 2 teaspoons (5 10 cm )
of clean engine oil into each
cylinder.
Reinstall the spark plugs (p. ).
Rotate the engine a few
revolutions to distribute the oil in
the cylinders.
Loosen the vapor separator drain

separator to finish draining.
After draining thoroughly, tighten
the drain screw securely.
Clip the drain hose on the head
cover.
Drain the fuel tank into an
approved gasoline container, or if

Marine fuel stabilizer following
the directions on the container.
