Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor
1. Remove the carburetor drain bolt with a 10 mm wrench, and drain

the carburetor bowl fuel into an approved container.

B

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.

You can be burned or seriously injured when
handling fuel.

•

Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and
flame away.

•

Handle fuel only outdoors.

•

Wipe up spills immediately.

2. Turn the fuel valve ON (page 9).

This will allow fuel in the fuel
tank to drain through the
carburetor bowl. After the fuel is
completely drained, reinstall the
drain bolt.

Engine Oil
Change the engine oil (page 33).

Engine Cylinder
Remove the spark plug (page 36). Pour a tablespoon (5 ~ 10 cc) of
clean engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope several times to
distribute the oil in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug. Pull the
starter rope slowly until resistance is felt then return the starter grip
gently. This closes the valves so moisture cannot enter.

Remove the grass bag (if
installed). Loosen the handlebar
locking knobs. Press the handlebar
struts outward to release the
locating pins, then swing the
handlebar forward. Don’t allow the
cables to be bent or pinched.
