Storage Tips

NOTICE: Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the
protective film created by fogging and damage could occur. Never
start the engine during the storage period.
Clean the Exterior

page 139.
Stabilize the Fuel

systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons,
rings, valves and exhaust systems.
3. Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to
disperse through the entire fuel delivery system.
Oil and Filter
Change the oil and filter. See page 98.

117.
2. Clean the air box.
