MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
LONG TERM STORAGE
If you plan on storing the unit for an extended time, use the following storage procedure:
1.
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a container with the same 2-cycle fuel mixture. Do not use fuel that
has been stored for more than 60 days. Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to Federal, State
and Local regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures that all fuel has been drained from the carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 1 oz. (30 ml) of any high quality motor oil or
2-cycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder before attempting to start the
unit after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace
damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is ready for storage.
TRANSPORTING
