Remove the sediment cup and o-ring,then move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.After all the fuel has drained into the container, reinstall the drain bolt, gasket, sedimentcup and o-ring. Tighten the drain bolt and sediment cup securely.11.5 Engine OilChange the engine oil (see page 9)Remove the spark plug (see page 12).Pour one to two teaspoons (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 and the notch on the start pulley alignswith the hole at the top of the recoil starter cover. This will close the valves so moisturecannot enter the engine cylinder. Return the starter rope gently.11.6 Storage PrecautionsIf your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is importantto reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well ventilated storage areaaway from any appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, waterheater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark producing electric motor, orwhere power tools are operated.If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that promotes rust and cor-rosion.Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the engine to keep out dust. A hotengine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials. Do not use sheet plasticas a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting rustand corrosion.If equipped with a battery for electric starter types, recharge the battery once a monthwhile the engine is in storage. This will help to extend the service life of the battery.1.2.3.4.1.2.3.4.5.6.22
