Adding a Gasoline Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life
When adding a gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh
gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline
for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
1.
Add gasoline stabilizer following the manufacturer's instructions.
2.
After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10
minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the
untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
3.
Stop the engine, and move the fuel valve lever to the OFF
position.

Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you
can be burned or seriously injured when handling
fuel.
Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
1.
Place an approved gasoline container below the carburetor, and
use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel.
2.
Remove the drain bolt and gasket, and drain the carburetor bowl
fuel into an approved gasoline container.
3.
Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position. This will allow the
fuel tank to drain through the carburetor bowl.

Engine Oil
1.
Change the engine oil (see page ).
2.
Remove the spark plug (see page
3.
Pour a tablespoon 5 10 cm (5 10 cc) of clean engine oil into
the cylinder.
4.
Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the
cylinder.
5.
Reinstall the spark plug.
6.
Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt.
(At this time the index mark on the cooling fan aligns with the
index mark on the fan cover).
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, leave the fuel
valve lever in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel
leakage.
Position the equipment so the engine is level. 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 sheet plastic as a dust cover. A
nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting
rust and corrosion.
If equipped with a battery for electric starter types, recharge the
battery once a month while the engine is in storage.
This will help to extend the service life of the battery.
