- Honda Tiller Owner's Manual

STORAGE

Select a storage area away from appliances (water heater or clothes dryer)

that use an open flame as a heat source. Power tools, and some battery

operated toys, have electric motors that produce sparks that can ignite

gasoline vapors.

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and.gasoline vapor can explode. Be

careful to avoid open flames or sparks.

Avoid storing the tiller where it will be exposed to high humidity and dust.

Place the tiller with its tines and wheels on a level surface. Tilting the tiller may

result in fuel leakage.

Cover the tiller to keep out dust.

NOTE:

Plastic sheets should not be used as dust covers; they trap moisture under the

covers, promoting rust and corrosion.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

Check all items described in the PRE-OPERATION CHECK section of this

manual (pages 10 - 16).

Fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for

refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.

Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, resulting in bad fuel that may

cause hard starting.

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.

Use extreme care when handling gasoline.

NOTE:

If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine will

smoke briefly at start up. This is normal.
