5.1 Engine idle for more than 30 days
If you do not intend to operate the engine for 30 days or more, prepare the engine for storage. Preparing the
engine for storage will prevent the cylinder from corroding and ensure the engine starts again correctly at the
end of the storage period.
Preparations for storage require special technical knowledge. Preparations must be performed in a workshop
authorized by Weber Motor or the portable fire pump manufacturer.
