WARNING: When draining the fuel, be sure to stop the engine and confirm that the
engine cools down.
Just after stopping the engine, it may still hot with possibility of burns, inflammability
and fire.
ATTENTION: When the machine is kept out of operation for a long time, drain up
all fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor, and keep it at a dry and
clean place.
Drain up fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor according to the
following procedure:
1) Remove the fuel tank cap, and drain fuel completely.
If there is any foreign matter remaining in the fuel tank, remove
it completely.
2) Pull out the fuel filter from the refill port using a wire.
3) Push the primer pump until fuel is drained from there, and
drain fuel coming into the fuel tank.
4) Reset the filter to the fuel tank, and securely tighten the fuel
tank cap.
5) Then, continue to operate the engine until it stops.
Remove the spark plug, and drip several drops of engine oil
through the spark plug hole.
Gently pull the starter handle so that engine oil will spread over the
engine, and attach the spark plug.
Attach the cover to the cutter blade.
During storage, keep the rod horizontal or keep the machine
upright with the blade edge oriented upward. (In this case, pay full
attention to prevent the machine from falling.)
Never store the machine with the cutter blade edge oriented
downward. Lubricating oil may spill out.
Keep the drained fuel in a special container in a well-ventilated
shade.
Attention after long-time storage
Before startup after long-time shutdown, be sure to replace oil (refer to P 21). Oil will deteriorate
while the machine is kept out of operation.
