STORAGE / TRANSPORT PROCEDURES
CAUTION: Never place any type of storage cover on the engine
while it is still hot.
If the engine is being stored for short periods of time (30 – 60 days), add stabilized fuel to the fuel
tank until full. NOTE: Filling the tank reduces the amount of air in the tank and helps reduce
deterioration of fuel. Run the engine for 2 – 3 minutes allowing stabilized fuel mixture to
circulate through the carburetor.
When transporting or storing the engine for extended periods of time:
• Drain the fuel tank (see “Draining the Fuel Tank” in the “Maintenance” section).
• Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
• Do not obstruct any ventilation openings.
• Keep the engine in a cool dry area.
