Immediately
prepare your tiller for storage
at the end of the season or if the unit will
not be used for 30 days or more.
_CAUTION:
Never store the tiller with
gasoline
in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark.
Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.
TILLER
1. Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING"
in
the Maintenance section of this
manual).
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary
(See belt replacement instructions in
the Service and Adjustments section
of this manual).
3. Lubricate as shown in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual.
4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are securely fastened.
Inspect moving
parts for damage, breakage and wear.
Replace if necessary.
5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint
surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
ENGINE
FUELSYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent
gum deposits
from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during
storage. Also, alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor
are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer
is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing
the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add
stabilizer
to gasoline
in fuel tank or
storage container.
Always follow the mix
ratio found on stabilizer
container.
Run
engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach
the carburetor.
Do not drain the gas tank
and carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain
oil (with
engine
warm)
and replace
with clean
oil.
(See "ENGINE"
in the
Maintenance
section
of this manual).
CYLINDER
1. Remove spark plug,
2. Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder.
3. Pull starter handle slowly several
times to distribute oil.
4.
Replace with new spark plug.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline
from one season
to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can
starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to give protection from dust and
dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protec-
tive cover that does not retain moisture.
Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot
breathe which allows condensation to
form and will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover tiller while
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
