b. Avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor.
c. 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 is 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.
• 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.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
1. Check the engine as described in the section Operation - Before
Starting the Engine.
2. Fill the tank with fresh gasoline if the fuel was drained during
storage preparation.
3. An engine cylinder coated with oil during storage preparation will
smoke briefly at start up. This is normal.
