Remove the spark plug and pour

about 1/4 oz. of engine oil into the

cylinder through the spark plug hole.

Slowly pull the recoil starter 2 or

3 times so oil will evenly coat the

interior of the engine. Reinstall the

spark plug.

■

Before storing the unit, repair or

replace any worn or damaged parts.

■

Remove the air cleaner element

from the carburetor and clean it thor-

oughly with soap and water. Let dry

and reassemble the element.

■

Store the unit in a clean, dust-free

area.

Long Term Storage

Whenever the unit will not be used for

30 days or longer, use the following pro-

cedures to prepare it for storage:

■

Clean external parts thoroughly and

apply a light coating of oil to all metal

surfaces.

■

Drain all the fuel from the carburetor

and the fuel tank.

To do so:
1. Prime the primer bulb until no more

fuel is passing through.

2. Start and run the engine until it

stops running.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the

engine will no longer start.

CAUTION!

Gasoline stored in the carbure-

tor for extended periods can cause

hard starting, and could also lead to

increased service and maintenance

costs.

IMPORTANT!

All stored fuels should be stabi-

lized with a fuel stabilizer such as

STA-BIL™.

NOTE:

Damage resulting from stale or con-

taminated fuel is not covered by the

Shindaiwa warranty policy.
