Storage
Kerosene and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
WHEN STORING KEROSENE OR
EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water
heaters or other appliances that have pilot
light or other ignition source because they
can ignite fuel vapors.
WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT
• Transport with fuel tank EMPTY.
WARNING
If engine is stored over 30 days, prepare as follows:
1. Operate until fuel tank is empty, if possible
2. While engine is still warm, change oil.
3. Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 oz. (15 ml.) of
engine oil into cylinder. Replace spark plug, but do not
attach spark plug wire. Crank engine over by slowly
pulling rope handle to distribute oil.
4. Clean engine of accumulated debris.
5. Store in a clean, dry area. Do not store in same area as
a stove, furnace, water heater, or other appliance that
uses a pilot light or has a device that can create a
spark.
