Engine Oil
1. Change the engine oil (see page 9).
2. Remove the spark plug (see page 10).
3. Pour a teaspoon 5–10 cm
cylinder.
4. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.
5. Reinstall the spark plug.
6. Pull the starter grip slowly to the direction of the arrow as show
below until resistance is felt. This will close the valves so moisture
cannot enter the engine cylinder. Return the starter rope gently.
Storage Precautions
If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor,
it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a
well ventilated storage area away from any appliance that operates with
a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any
area with a spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are
operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that
promotes rust and corrosion.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, turn the fuel valve
lever to the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the engine to keep out
dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials.
Do not use a plastic sheet as a dust cover.
A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting rust
and corrosion.

Removal from Storage
Check your engine as described in the BEFORE OPERATION CHECKS
section of this manual (see page 3).
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh
gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure it
contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over
time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine
will smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
