10. Transport and storage
TRANSPORT
To avoid any spillage of fuel and oil is it important that the engine is placed
horizontal during transport.
STORAGE
 Remove the sparkplug and pour max. 1 tablespoon of oil into the cylinder,
mount the sparkplug.
 Do not mount the sparkplug cap. Pull the sparking cord, until there is resistance.
This will close the valves and protect them from rust.
 Protect the rest with a thin layer of oil to avoid rust.
 Store the engine in a dust free environment, out of reach of children.
 Mount the sparkplug cap before use.
