V 1.0 420CC OHV GAS ENGINE WITH ELECTRIC START 8628265
Storing or transporting with the spark plug down will result in
hard starting and/or engine smoking.
STORING ENGINE WITH FUEL
1. If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and
carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline
vapour ignition.
1.1 Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any
appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace,
water heater or clothes dryer.
1.2 Avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor.
1.3 Avoid any area where power tools are operated.
2. If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, as this
promotes rust and corrosion.
3. Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or
oil leakage.
4. Cover the engine once the engine and exhaust system are cool.
Some materials can ignite or melt if the engine and/or exhaust
system is hot. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover.
4.1 Use a cover made from a breathable fabric to prevent
rust and corrosion.
5. Store with gasoline that does not contain ethanol or a similar
alcohol-based fuel additive. Fuel with alcohol-based additives
may phase separate into gasoline, alcohol and water when
stored for more than a few weeks.
FUEL
IMPORTANT! Avoid fuel phase separation by using premium
quality fuel of at least 89 octane.
Gasoline with ethanol or alcohol-based additives may phase
separate and deteriorate in storage. Phase separated gasoline will
cause hard starting and leave gum deposits that clog the fuel
