Off-SeasonStorage
CAUTION"
Failure to use a fuel stabilizing
additive
or completely
run the engine
until it's out of fuel
before off-season
storage
may result in damage to
your engine's carburetor.
Subsequent
damage
would
not be covered
under the manufacturer's
warranty.
Engines stored between
30 and 90 days need to be treated with
a gasoline
stabilizer
and engines
stored over 90 days need to be
drained
of fuel to prevent
deterioration
and gum from forming
in fuel system or on essential carburetor
parts. If the gasoline
in
your engine deteriorates
during
storage, you may need to have
the carburetor,
and other fuel system components,
serviced
or
replaced.
1.
Remove all fuel from tank by running
engine until it stops
from lack of fuel.
WARNING!
Never leave engine
unattended
while it
is running.
2.
Change the oil. See Changing
the Oil earlier in this section.
3.
Remove the spark plug and pour approximately
a 1/2-ounce
of engine
oil into the cylinder.
Replace spark plug and
crank it slowly to distribute
oil.
4.
Clean debris from around
the engine and the muffler.
Touch up any damaged
paint, and coat other areas that
may rust with a light film of oil.
5.
Store in a clean, dry and well ventilated
area away from any
appliance
that operates
with a flame or pilot light, 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.
6.
If possible,
also avoid storage
areas with high humidity,
because that promotes
rust and corrosion.
7.
Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting
can cause fuel or
oil leakage.
