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.
• Clean the exterior of the engine and the entire tiller thoroughly. Lubricate
the tiller as described in the Lubrication instructions.
• Using a pressure washer to clean your tiller is not recommended. The washer
may cause damage to the electric components, spindles, pulleys, bearings
or the engine. Using a pressure washers will result in shortened life and
reduce serviceability.
• Engines stored between 30 and 90 days need to be treated with a gasoline
stabilizer and engines stored over 90 days need to be drained of fuel to
prevent deterioration and gum from forming in fuel system or on essential
carburetor parts. If the gasoline in your engine deteriorates during storage,
you may need to have the carburetor, and other fuel system components,
serviced or replaced.
