LONG-TERM ENGINE STORAGE
Clean the machine when storing the
engine for several months or more.
1. Open the drain cocks and remove
the radiator cap to drain all of the
coolant from the engine and radi-
ator. Leave the drain cocks open.
Label the engine with a reminder
that there is no coolant in the en-
gine. If the temperature gets lower
than 0°C (32°F), coolant gets
frozen. In such conditions, be sure
to discharge the coolant from the
engine.
2.
Drain the engine oil and replace
with clean oil. Run the engine for 5
minutes.
3.
Repair any leaks. Ensure that all
bolts and screws are tight.
4. Separate the battery from the ma-
chine, check the electrolytes, and
recharge the battery. The battery
should be kept in a dry place without
direct sunlight.
5. Run the engine every 2 to 3 months
with no load for 5 minutes. If the
engine is not run for a period of
more than 5 months, apply engine
oil liberally to valve guides and valve
stem seals before starting.
