II. Oil Cylinder Bore ! WARNING When lubricating cylinder bore, fuel may spray from spark plug hole. To prevent serious injury from fuel fires, follow these instructions: 1. Carefully disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug. See Figures 49 and 50. See "G. Avoid Accidental Starts" instructions on page 2. Afterward, continue reading instructions below. • Keep the disconnected spark plug wire securely away from metal parts where arcing could occur. • Carefully attach the spark plug wire to the grounding post, if provided. • Disconnect battery at negative terminal first, if engine is equipped with an electric starter. • Turn off all engine switches. • Remove ignition key, if provided. 2. Remove spark plug. 3. Squirt 1oz. (30ml) of clean engine oil into spark plug hole. 4. Cover spark plug hole with rag to prevent fuel from spraying from spark plug hole when starter rope is pulled. NOTES For engines equipped with recoil starters proceed to Step 5. For engines equipped with electric starters proceed to Step 6. 5. Grasp starter cord handle: a. Pull starter cord handle out slowly using a full arm stroke. b. Repeat once. (This will distribute oil throughout the cylinder to prevent corrosion during storage.) c. Proceed to Step 7. 6. Push starter button or turn ignition switch key to "START" position. Immediately release starter button or turn ignition switch key to "OFF" position. (This will distribute oil throughout the cylinder to prevent corrosion during storage.) 7. Remove rag from spark plug hole. 8. Install spark plug. 9.

Oil Cylinder Bore
When lubricating cylinder bore, fuel
may spray from spark plug hole. To
prevent serious injury from fuel fires, follow these
instructions:
1.
Carefully disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away
from spark plug. See Figures 49 and 50. See “G. Avoid
Accidental Starts” instructions on page 2. Afterward,
continue reading instructions below.
•
Keep the disconnected spark plug wire
securely away from metal parts where arcing
could occur.
•
Carefully attach the spark plug wire to the
grounding post, if provided.
•
Disconnect battery at negative terminal first, if
engine is equipped with an electric starter.
•
Turn off all engine switches.
•
Remove ignition key, if provided.
2.
Remove spark plug.
3.
Squirt 1oz. (30ml) of clean engine oil into spark plug
hole.
4.
Cover spark plug hole with rag to prevent fuel from
spraying from spark plug hole when starter rope is
pulled.
NOTES
For engines equipped with recoil starters proceed to Step 5.
For engines equipped with electric starters proceed to Step
6.
5.
Grasp starter cord handle:
a.
Pull starter cord handle out
slowly
using a full arm
stroke.
b.
Repeat once. (This will distribute oil throughout the
cylinder to prevent corrosion during storage.)
c.
Proceed to Step 7.
6.
Push starter button or turn ignition switch key to
“START” position. Immediately release starter button or
turn ignition switch key to “OFF” position. (This will dis-
tribute oil throughout the cylinder to prevent corrosion
during storage.)
7.
Remove rag from spark plug hole.
8.
Install spark plug.
9.
Carefully disconnect spark plug wire from grounding
post, if provided. See Figure 49.
10.
Carefully re-connect spark plug wire to spark plug. See
Figure 50.
