Off-Season Storage
If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30 days, the
following steps should be taken to prepare the tiller for storage.
1.
Clean the exterior of the engine and the entire tiller
thoroughly. Lubricate the tiller as described in the
lubrication instructions.
2.
The use of pressure washers is not recommended for
cleaning your tiller. They may cause damage to electric
components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The
use of pressure washers will result in shortened life and
reduce serviceability.
3.
Refer to the engine manual for correct engine storage
instructions.
4.
Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.
5.
Store tiller in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an
unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken
to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone,
coat the equipment and especially any springs, bearings,
and cables.
