Storing the Machine

For periods of about 3 months or longer:
: Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area.
: Dispose of remaining fuel and
cleaning solution properly in
accordance with local
environmental requirements.
: Run engine until carburetor is dry –
this helps prevent carburetor
diaphragms sticking together.
: Thoroughly clean the machine – pay
special attention to the cylinder fins
and air filter.
: Store the machine in a dry, high or
locked location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.
