Cleaning And Storage - Troy-Bilt TB225 Manual Del Operador

WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always turn
your unit off and allow it to cool before you clean or service it.
CLEANING
• Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit and to keep
the air vents free of obstructions.
• Do not use strong detergents or petroleum based cleaners, like
kerosene. Some household cleaners contain aromatic oils such
as pine and lemon that can damage the plastic housings or
handles. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Store the unit in a locked up area to prevent
unauthorized use or damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
Long-term Storage
1. Remove the fuel cap, tip the unit and drain the fuel into an
approved container. Reinstall the fuel cap.
NOTE: Do not use gasoline that has been stored for more than 30
days. Dispose of old gasoline in accordance with federal, state
and local regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures
that all fuel has been drained from the carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 5
drops of any high quality motor oil or 2-cycle oil into the cylinder.
Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the
spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the
cylinder before attempting to start the unit after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect for any loose or damaged
parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose
screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is ready for storage.
