8. STORING YOUR ENGINE
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning.
Clean all exterior surfaces, repair any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust
with a light film of oil.
Water with big pressure can enter into air cleaner and muffler and even into cylinder along
with air path, resulting in causing rust and water spatter on the hot engine to damage
engine, so don’t wash engine until the engine is cooled.
1) Change the engine oil.
2) Remove the spark plugs.
3) Pour a tablespoon (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 plugs.
6) Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the valves so moisture
cannot enter the engine cylinder. Return the starter rope gently.
7) Put the out case on the engine and place in the ventilated and dry area.
