STORAGE
– When keeping the machine in storage for a long time, drain fuel from the fuel tank and
carburetor, as follows: Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Dispose of properly and in accordance
with all local laws.
– Remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the spark plug hole. Then, pull the
starter gently, so that oil covers the engine inside and tighten the spark plug.
– Clear dirt or dust from the cutter blade and outside of engine, wipe them with a oil-immersed
cloth and keep the machine in a place as dry as possible.
