WARNING
PREPARING THE ENGINE
For engines stored over 30 days:
1. To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on
carburetor parts, turn off the fuel valve, run the
engine until it stops from lack of fuel or add a gaso-
line additive to the gas in the tank. If you use a gas
additive, run the engine for several minutes to circu-
late the additive through the carburetor, after which
the engine and fuel can be stored up to six months.
2. While engine is still warm, change the oil.
3. Remove spark plug and pour approximately 1 oz.
(30 ml) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the
recoil starter several times to distribute the oil, and
reinstall the spark plug.
4. Clean engine of surface debris.
PREPARING THE LAWN MOWER
• When storing the mower in an unventilated or metal
storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof the
non-painted surfaces. Using a light oil or silicone,
coat the equipment, especially any springs, bear-
ings, and cables.
• Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equip-
ment.
• Store equipment in a clean, dry area. Do not store
in an area where equipment is present that may use
a pilot light or has a component that can create a
spark, or open flame.
