How to Prepare for Storage
WARNING
Never store the trimmer indoors with fuel in the fuel tank.
Never store in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area where
fumes could reach an open flame, a spark or a pilot light as
on a furnace, water heater or clothes dryer. Allow engine to
cool before storing unit.
WARNING
Do not remove gasoline while inside a building, near a fire,
or while you smoke. Gasoline fumes can cause an explo-
sion or a fire.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up at an authorized service
center will make sure that the trimmer will provide maximum
performance for the next season.
When the trimmer is put in storage for thirty days or more,
the following steps should be followed to make sure the
Trimmer is in good condition the next season.
1. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline.
2. Change the oil by following instructions under "How to
Change the Engine Oil" section.
3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour one
ounce of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the recoil-
start grip so that the oil will protect the cylinder. Install a
spark plug in the cylinder. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the cylinder valves.
