Storage
Engines stored over 30 days need to be protected or
drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in fuel
system or on essential carburetor parts.
For engine protec tion, we recommend use of B riggs &
Stratton Fuel Stabilizer available from an Authorized
Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer. Mix stabilizer with fuel
in fuel tank or storage container. Run engine for a short
time to circulate stabilizer through carburetor. Engine

Note: If stabilizer is not used or if engine is operating on
gasoline containing alcohol, e.g. gasohol, remove all fuel
from tank and run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
1. Change oil. See Oil service. (see figs.
©¦)
2. Remove spark plugs and pour about 30 ml (1 oz)
of engine oil into cylinders. Replace spark plugs
and crank slowly to distribute oil.
3. Clean grass/chaff from cylinders and cylinder
head fins and behind muffler.
4. Store in a clean and dry area, but NOT near a
stove, furnace or water heater which uses a pilot
light or any device that can create a spark.
