MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
STORAGE
• Never store the unit with fuel in the tank where fumes
may reach an open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Store the unit in a dry place, locked up or up-high to
prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of the
reach of children.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If the unit will be stored for an extended time, use the
following storage procedure.
1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank and drain into a
container with the same 2-cycle fuel mixture. Do not
use fuel that has been stored for more than 60 days.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This
ensures that all fuel has been drained from the
carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and
put 30 ml (1 oz.) of any high quality motor oil or 2-
cycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly
to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil
from the cylinder before attempting to start the
unit after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect for any loose
or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts
and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is
ready for storage.
5 Store the unit in a dry place, locked up or up-high to
prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of
the reach of children.
