TRANSPORTING ENGINE
Shut fuel supply off by moving the fuel lever to the OFF
1.
position. Failure to turn fuel off may cause raw fuel to
enter the crank case contaminating the engine oil and
providing insufficient lubrication. SEVERE ENGINE
DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
2. Never transport engine inside an enclosed space or vehicle.
Fuel or fuel vapors may ignite causing serious injury or
death.
3. If fuel is present in the fuel tank remove fuel or transport
with an open vehicle in an upright position.
4. If an enclosed vehicle must be used, remove fuel into an
approved red fuel container. DO NOT siphon by mouth.
5. Run engine or drain to use up the fuel in the carburetor and
fuel tank. Always run engine in a well ventilated area.
6. Wipe away any spilled fuel from engine. Allow to dry.
STEPS FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE
1. Mix an appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer to fresh gaso-
line in the ratio recommended on the stabilizer packaging.
Run the engine for five minutes to distribute the stabilizer
mixture throughout the fuel system. This will prevent
gum, varnish and corrosion build up in your fuel system
during long-term storage for up to 12 months.
NOTE: It is recommended that fuel tank is drained and new
fuel stabilizer is added every four months. Starting engine
once a month to help preserve engine is also recommended.
2. Run engine for 10-15 minutes to ensure that the stabilizer
reaches the carburetor.
a. ) Move fuel lever to the OFF position and start engine.
Run until engine runs itself out of any residual fuel left
in the carburetor fuel cup and fuel lines. (It is normal for
the engine to run two to three minutes before the fuel is
completely out of system.)
3. Store engine in its upright position.
4. Remove all debris from engine.
