STORAGE
If the front tine tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30
days, follow the steps below to prepare your unit for storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel containing ethanol
or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days. Stale fuel has high
gum content and can clog the carburetor and restrict fuel ow.
2. Start the engine and run until it stops. This helps prevent gum
deposits from forming inside the carburetor and possible
engine damage.
3. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the engine. Rell
with fresh oil of the grade recommended in the Engine Manual.
4. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the machine and to
keep the air vents free of obstructions.
Do not use strong detergents or petroleum based
cleaners when cleaning plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage plastics.
Do not store the machine with fuel in a non-
ventilated area where fuel fumes may reach flame,
sparks, pilot lights or any ignition sources.
5. Inspect for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace
damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts.
6. Store your unit on at ground in a clean, dry building that has
good ventilation.
