Off-SeasonStorage
When the tiller won't be used for an extended period, prepare it
for storage as follows:
1. Clean the tiller and engine.
2. Do routine tiller lubrication and check for loose parts and
hardware.
3. Protect the engine and perform the recommended engine
maintenance by following the storage instructions found
in the Engine Maintenance section. Be sure to protect the
fuel lines, carburetor and fuel tank from gum deposits
by removing fuel or by treating fuel with a fuel stabilizer
(follow the engine maintenance recommendations).
4. Store the tiller in a clean, dry area.
5. Never store the tiller with fuel in the fuel tank in an
enclosed area where gas fumes could reach an open flame
or spark, or where ignition sources are present (space
heaters, hot water heaters, furnaces, etc.).
