DO NOT STORE YOUR UNIT FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME (OVER 30 DAYS) WITHOUT PERFORMING PROTECTIVE STORAGE MAINTENANCE:

• Choose a dry, dust free place to store your unit, out of the reach of children.
• Place the stop switch in the “STOP” position.
• Remove any grease, oil, dirt and/or debris that may have accumulated on the exterior of the unit.
• Perform all periodic lubrication and services that are required to your gear casings and shafts, etc.
• Tighten all screws and nuts as required.
• Drain the fuel tank completely and pull the recoil starter handle several times to remove the fuel from the carburetor.
• Remove the spark plug and pour 7 cc (1/4 oz) of fresh, clean, two-stroke engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Place a clean cloth over the spark plug hole while pulling the recoil starter handle 2-3 times in order to distribute the oil inside the engine. Observe the piston location through the spark plug hole. Pull the recoil handle slowly until the piston reaches the top of its travel and leave it there. Re-install the spark plug but do NOT connect the ignition cable.
