Storing Hedge Trimmer
WARNING: Stop engine and allow to cool, and secure the unit before storing or transporting in a
vehicle. Store unit and fuel in an area where fuel vapors cannot reach sparks or open flames from
water heaters, electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc. Store unit with all guards in place. Position
so that any sharp object cannot accidentally cause injury to a passersby. Store the unit out of reach
of children and other unauthorized persons.
1. Drain and clean the fuel tank in a well ventilated area.
2. Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for gasoline. Run engine until it stops. This will remove all fuel-oil
mix which could become stale and leave varnish and gum in the fuel system.
3. Clean all foreign material from the hedge trimmer. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and
de-icing salts.
4. Abide by all Federal and local regulations for the safe storage and handling of gasoline. Excess fuel should be used
in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.
5. Lubricate the blade bars with special grease before long periods of storage.
CAUTION: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such
as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or fuel tank during storage. Alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol or E10 or using ethanol, methanol) can attract moisture which leads to fuel mixture
separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the engine.
