Long Term Storage

Whenever the unit will not be used for 30
days or longer, use the following proce-
dures to prepare it for storage:
 Clean external parts thoroughly.
 Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank.
IMPORTANT!
All stored fuels should be stabilized
with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-
BIL™, if oil with fuel stabilizer
is not used.
CAUTION!
Gasoline stored in the carburetor
for extended periods can cause hard
starting and could also lead
to increased service and mainte-
nance cost.
To remove the remaining fuel from the
fuel lines and carburetor and with the
fuel drained from the fuel tank.
1. Prime the primer bulb until no more
fuel is passing through.
2. Start and run the engine until it
stops running.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine
will no longer start.
 Remove the spark plug and pour
about 1/4 ounce of 2-cycle mixing oil
into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole. Slowly pull the recoil
starter 2 or 3 times so oil will evenly
coat the interior of the engine. Rein-
stall the spark plug.
 Before storing the unit, repair or
replace any worn or damaged parts.
 Remove the air cleaner element from
the carburetor and clean it thoroughly
with soap and water. Let dry and reas-
semble the air cleaner.
 Store the unit in a clean,
dust-free area.
