SECTION 7: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
If the tiller is to be inoperative for a period longer than
30 days, the following precautions are recommended.
• Working outdoors, drain all fuel from the fuel tank.
Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
WARNING: Do not drain fuel while
smoking, or if near an open fire.
• 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 fresh oil.
• Protect the inside of the engine for storage as
instructed in the separate engine manual packed
with your tiller.
• Clean the engine and the entire tiller thoroughly.
• Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.
• We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers to clean your unit. It may cause damage to
electric components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or
the engine. The use of pressure washers will result
in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
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.
• Store in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
