Removal from Storage
Check your engine as described in the chapter CHECK BEFORE OPERATION.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh gasoline. If you
keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinders were coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke
briefly at startup. This is normal.
TRANSPORTING
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the
engine-powered equipment on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can
burn you and can ignite some materials.
Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Move the
fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
