Whenever the unit will not be used for
30 days or longer, use the following
procedures to prepare if for storage:

■ Clean external parts thoroughly.

■ Drain all the fuel from the carbure-

tor and the fuel tank.

All stored fuels should be stabilized
with a fuel stabilizer such as StaBil™.

To remove the remaining fuel from the
fuel lines and carburetor and with the
fuel drained from the fuel tank…

1. Prime the primer bulb until no

more fuel passes through.

2. Start the engine and idle until it

stops running.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until the

engine will no longer start.

Gasoline stored in the carburetor
for extended periods can cause
hard starting and could also lead
to increased service and mainte-
nance costs.

■ Remove the spark plug and pour

about 1/4 ounce of 2-cycle mixing
oil into the cylinder through the
spark plug hole. Slowly pull the
recoil starter 2 or 3 times so oil will
evenly coat the interior of the
engine. Reinstall the spark plug.

■ Before storing the unit, repair or

replace any worn or damaged parts.

■ Remove the air cleaner element

from the carburetor and clean it as
described on page 17, then reas-
semble the element.

■ Clean the exterior of the unit

thoroughly.

■ Store the unit is a clean, dust-free

area.
