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.
ACAUTION:
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. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are securely fastened.
Inspect moving
parts for damage,
breakage
and wear.
Replace
if necessary.
5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint
surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
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 gasohol 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.
