The Toro Pruner will provide maximum performance
for many, many hours if it is maintained properly.
Good maintenance includes regular checking of all
fasteners for correct tightness, and cleaning the entire
machine.
Storage
For long-term storage of the Pruner (Fig. 25):
1. Empty the fuel tank into a suitable fuel storage
container.
2. Pump the primer bulb on the carburetor until all
fuel is discharged through the clear fuel return
hose.
3. Run the engine to remove any fuel that may
remain in the carburetor.
4. Perform all regular maintenance procedures and
any needed repairs.
5. Remove the spark plug and squirt a very small
amount of oil into the cylinder.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Oil may squirt out of the spark plug
opening when you pull the starter handle.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Oil can cause eye injuries.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Protect your eyes and keep your face away
from the spark plug opening.
6. Pull the starter handle once.
7. Slowly pull the starter handle to bring the piston
to the top of the cylinder (TDC).
8. Reinstall the spark plug.
9. Store the Pruner in a dry place away from
excessive heat, sparks or open flame.
