Storage

If the machine is not to be used for a longer period, the following precautions should be taken. This will
ensure a longer working life.
- change the oil!
With the motor in a horizontal position, there should be oil on the dipstick.
Empty the fuel tank. Run the motor until the carburettor is completely empty (the motor stops
by itself). If fuel is left in the tank for a longer period, any impurities in the petrol can clog the
carburettor, which can result in harder starting, loss of performance, etc.
Remove the spark plug. Pour a couple of drops of motor oil down the spark plug hole. Pull the start cord
4-5 times and replace the spark plug. Pull the start cord slowly until you feel some resistance. This
closes the fuel and exhaust valves and prevents corrosion in the cylinder.
Wipe the surface with an oily cloth.
Always store the machine in a dry, clean place.
