Immediately
prepare
your tiller for storage
at the end of the season or if the unit will
not be used for 30 days or more.
A, CAUTION:
Never store the tiller with
gasoline
in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark.
Allow the engine to cool before
storing
in any enclosure.
TILLER
1. Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING"
in
the Maintenance
section
of this
manual).
2.
Inspect and replace
belts, if necessary
(See belt replacement
instructions
in
the Service
and Adjustments
section
of this manual).
3.
Lubricate
as shown in the Mainte-
nance section
of this manual.
4.

are securely
fastened.
Inspect moving
parts for damage,

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits from forming
in essential
fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during
storage.
Also, alcohol blended
fuels
(called gasobol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation
of
acids during storage.
Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system
of an engine
while in storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2.
Start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage
may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing
the formation
of
fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or
storage container.
Always
follow the mix
ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run
engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach
the carburetor.
Do not drain the gas tank
and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE
OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with clean oil. (See "ENGINE"
in the
Maintenance
section of this manual).
CYLINDER
1. Remove
spark plug.
2.
Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder.
3.
Pull starter handle
slowly several
times to distribute oil.
4. Replace
with new spark plug.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline
from one season
to another.
• Replace
your gasoline
can if your can
starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline
will cause
problems.
• If possible,
store your unit indoors
and
cover it to give protection
from dust and
dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable
protec-
tive cover that does not retain moisture.
Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot
breathe
which allows
condensation
to
form and will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover tiller while
engine and exhaust
areas are still warm.
