Long term storage of your machine will require some preventive procedures to
guard against deterioration.

2.
Remove the fuel tank cap, remove the filter. Extract the fuel from the fuel
tank into an approved gasoline container. Then, install the fuel tank cap.
• Fuel is highly flammable and poisonous. Check "SAFETY
INFORMATION" (See page 6) carefully.
• Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel

stops in approx. 20 minutes by running out of fuel.
