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.
Storage Procedure
DRAIN SCREW
Align the notch on the starter pulley
with the hole at the top of recoil starter.
Drain the carburetor by loosening the drain screw. Drain the
gasoline into a suitable container.
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.
Change the engine oil (see page 29 ).
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.
