Drain all the oil from the crankcase (this
should be done after the engine has been
operated and is still warm) and refill the
crankcase with clean new oil as instructed in
the engine manual.
3. Protect the inside of the engine for storage as
instructed in the separate engine manual
packed with your unit.
4. Clean the exterior of engine and the entire
tiller thoroughly.
5. Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.
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, especially any springs,
bearings and cables.
If the tiller is to be inoperative for a period longer
than 30 days, the following precautions are recom-
mended. Keep your tiller in a weatherproof, dry
area. If stored for over 30 days the following steps
will protect the essential engine parts from gum
deposits.
1. Working outdoors, drain all fuel from the fuel
tank. Use a clean, dry cloth to absorb the
small amount of fuel remaining in the tank,
then run the engine until all fuel in carburetor
is exhausted.
