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

2. Remove the fuel tank cap, remove the filter. Extract the fuel from the fuel tank into
an approved gasoline container using a commercially available hand siphon. Then,
install the fuel tank cap.
3. Fuel is highly flammable and poisonous. Check "SAFETY INFORMATION" , and
carefully immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts.

20 mins. Time by running out of fuel.

float chamber.
