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.
Refuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
1.
Disconnect the fuel line to the engine, and drain the fuel tank
into an approved gasoline container. If the fuel tank is equipped
with a valve, turn the fuel valve to the OPEN or ON position to
enable draining. After draining is completed, reconnect the fuel
line.
2.
Loosen the carburetor drain screw, and drain the carburetor into
an approved gasoline container. After draining is completed,
tighten the carburetor drain screw.

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.
Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil
leakage.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel
valve in the CLOSED or OFF position to reduce the possibility of
fuel 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 installed, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
Recharge the battery once a month while the engine is in storage.
This will help to extend the service life of the battery.
Removal from Storage
Check your engine as described in the BEFORE OPERATION
CHECKS section of this manual (see page ).
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 cylinders were coated with oil during storage preparation,
the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.

TRANSPORTING

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15
minutes before loading the engine-powered equipment on the
transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you
and can ignite some materials.
Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility
of fuel leakage. If the fuel tank is equipped with a fuel valve, move
the fuel valve lever to OFF.
