3.5.7. Storage
If the rear tine tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30 days, follow the steps below to prepare your unit for storage.
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 carburettor and restrict fuel flow.
Start the engine and run until it stops. This helps prevent gum deposits from forming inside the carburettor and
possible engine damage.
While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the engine.
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.
Inspect for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts.
Store your unit on flat ground in a clean, dry building that has good ventilation.
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.
