tank. Run the engine until it stops from lack of
fuel.
WARNING: Do not drain fuel while
smoking, or if near an open fire.

be done after the engine has been operated
and is still warm) and refill the crankcase with
fresh oil.
3. Protect the inside of the engine for storage as
instructed in the separate engine manual
packed with your tiller.
4. Clean the engine and the entire tiller thoroughly.
5. Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.
NOTE: 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.
6. Store in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
