Transporting Your Engine
WARNING! NEVER transport this engine inside of
another vehicle or in any enclosed space if there is
any gasoline in the tank. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel
may ignite.
WARNING ! If there is fuel in the fuel tank, close the
fuel valve, if equipped, and transport the engine
upright in an open vehicle, such as an open trailer or
open bed of a pickup truck.
If you DO NOT have an open vehicle and have to transport
the engine upright in a closed vehicle, follow these steps for
emptying the fuel tank before transporting:
Empty fuel tank by using a commercially available suction device
designed for use with gasoline.
WARNING! DO NOT pour fuel from the engine or
siphon fuel by mouth.
Drain fuel into an approved red gasoline container, being careful
to avoid spilling.
Run the engine until remaining fuel is consumed.
WARNING! NEVER leave the engine unattended
when it is running and NEVER run the engine in an
enclosed area.
Storing Your Engine
Short-Term/Seasonal Storage
Clean Engine
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an
hour before cleaning.
Before servicing the engine, remove the carburetor cover and/or
blower housing. Discard the dirt and debris from the following
areas:
Cooling Fins•
Air Intake Screen or Recoil Starter/Flywheel •
Guard Areas
Spark Plug Connection•
Levers•
Linkage Area•
Guards•
Carburetor•
Head•
Removing debris will insure adequate cooling, correct engine
speed and reduce the risk of fire.
NOTE: Do not spray engine with water to clean because water
could contaminate fuel. Using a garden hose or pressure washing
equipment can also force water into the air cleaner or muffler
opening. Water in the air cleaner will soak the paper element,
and water that passes through the element or muffler can enter
the cylinder, causing damage.
WARNING! Accumulation of debris around muffler
could cause a fire. Inspect and clean before every
use.
Fuel Storage
WARNING! NEVER store engine with fuel in the
fuel tank inside a building with potential sources of
ignition such as hot water heater, space heater,
clothes dryer, electric motor, etc. Failure to do so
may result in an explosion and result in death or
serious injury.
NOTE: If engine fuel stored in the gas tank and/or an approved
gas container is to be unused without gasoline stabilizer for more
than 15-30 days, prepare it for short-term/seasonal storage. See
Fuel Treatment later in this section.
NOTE: If engine fuel is to be stored for more than one season,
without gasoline stabilizer, it will gradually deteriorate. Also, if
it is stored in the engine’s gas tank without gasoline stabilizer it
is likely that your carburetor will have gum deposits, a clogged
fuel system and will VOID YOUR WARRANTY. Prepare the fuel for
extended storage.
Fuel System
To avoid stale fuel and carburetor problems, treat the fuel system
in the following manner:
NOTE: Always follow mix ratio found on the stabilizer container.
Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.
NOTE: It is NOT necessary to drain stabilized gas from carburetor.
Fuel Treatment
Add fuel stabilizer according to Manufacturer’s 1.
instructions.
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer to 2.
allow it to reach the carburetor.
WARNING! NEVER store the engine with the fuel in
the fuel tank inside a building with potential sources
of ignition such as a hot water heater, space heater,
clothes dryer, electric motor, etc.
NOTE: Instead of using a fuel preservative/stabilizer, you can
empty the fuel tank as described next in Extended Storage -
Draining the Fuel.
Extended Storage
Draining the Fuel
NOTE: Clean debris from the engine before draining fuel from
the carburetor.
NOTE: If you have prepared your fuel for short-term storage it
is NOT necessary to drain fuel that contains stabilizer from your
carburetor.

Checking and Changing the Oil earlier in this section.
Off-Season Storage
CaUTiOn: Failure to use a fuel stabilizing additive
or completely run the engine until it’s out of fuel
before off-season storage may result in damage to
your engines carburetor. Subsequent damage
would not be covered under the manufacturers
warranty.
Engines stored between 30 and 90 days need to be treated with
a gasoline stabilizer and engines stored over 90 days need to be
drained of fuel to prevent deterioration and gum from forming
in fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. If the gasoline in
your engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have
the carburetor, and other fuel system components, serviced or
replaced.
Remove all fuel from tank by running engine until it stops 1.
from lack of fuel.
Warning! Never leave engine unattended while it
is running.
Change the oil. See Changing the Oil earlier in this section.2.
Remove the spark plug and pour approximately a 3. ⁄-ounce
of engine oil into the cylinder. Replace spark plug and
crank it slowly to distribute oil.
Clean debris from around the engine and the muffler. 4.
Touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that
may rust with a light film of oil.
Store in a clean, dry and well ventilated area away from any 5.
appliance that operates with a flame or pilot light, such
as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any
area with a spark producing electric motor, or where power
tools are operated.
If possible, also avoid storage areas with high humidity, 6.
because that promotes rust and corrosion.
