Long Term Storage

Whenever the unit will not be used for 30
days or longer, use the following proce-
dures to prepare it for storage:
■
Clean external parts thoroughly.
■
Drain all the fuel from the carburetor
and the fuel tank.
IMPORTANT!
All stored fuels should be stabilized with a
fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL.
CAUTION!
Gasoline stored in the carburetor for
extended periods can cause hard start-
ing, and could also lead to increased
service and maintenance costs.

■
Remove remaining fuel from the fuel
lines and carburetor with the fuel
drained from the fuel tank. To do so:
1. Prime the primer bulb until no more
fuel is passing through.
2. Start and run the engine until it stops
running.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine
will no longer start.
■
Remove the spark plug and pour
about 7 mL (1/4 oz.) of 2-cycle mixing
oil into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole. Slowly pull the recoil starter
2 or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the
interior of the engine. Reinstall the
spark plug.
