How to Prepare for Storage
WARNING
Never store the trimmer indoors with fuel in the fuel tank.
Never store in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area where
fumes could reach an open flame, a spark or a pilot light as
on a furnace, water heater or clothes dryer. Allow engine to
cool before storing unit.
Do not remove gasoline while inside a building, near a fire,
or while you smoke. Gasoline fumes can cause an
explosion or a fire.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up at an authorized service
center will make sure that the trimmer will provide maximum
performance for the next season.
When the trimmer is put in storage for thirty days or more,
the following steps should be followed to make sure the
Trimmer is in good condition the next season.
To prevent fuel gum deposits and corrosion in the unit's
carburetor and fuel system, it is highly recommended to use
a fuel additive/stabilizer formulated for ethanol fuels.. Follow
the stabilizer manufacturer's instructions. Run the engine
for at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizer.
1. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline.
Remove carburetor screw from bowl and drain fuel. Tilt
the unit slightly to remove all fuel. Replace screw.
2. Change the oil by following instructions under "How to
Change the Engine Oil" section.
3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour one
ounce of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the recoil-
start grip so that the oil will protect the cylinder. Install a
spark plug in the cylinder. Pull recoil slowly until
resistance is felt. This will close the cylinder valves.
