1. Drain the carburetor by loosening the drain screw. Drain the gasoline into

a suitable container.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain

conditions. Perform this task in a well ventilated area with the engine

stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area during this

procedure.

2. Drain the fuel-

a. With the engine switch ON,

remove the fuel filler cap.

b. Loosen the drain screw and drain

the fuel into a suitable container.

Retighten the screw.

c. Move the engine switch to OFF.

3. Change the engine oil (page 25).

4. Remove the spark plug, and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil

into the cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil,

then reinstall the spark plug.

5. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is

coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust

valves are closed. Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it

from internal corrosion.
