STORAGE

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an open

flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliance.

If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:

Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible

malfunction of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container, away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool. Do not

smoke. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine runs out of gasoline.
