SECTION7: OFF-SEASONSTORAGE
WARNING: Never store the machine or
fuel container indoors where there is an
open flame, spark or pilot light such as on
water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other
gas appliance.
WARNING: Use a fuel stabilizer additive
or drain the fuel into an approved container
outdoors, away from an open flame. Allow
engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars,
pipes, and other sources of ignition prior to
draining fuel. Fuel left in engine without a
stabilizer additive for extended periods
deteriorates and will cause problems.
If the machine is to be inoperative for a period longer
than 30 days, prepare for storage as follows.
Clean the engine and the entire unit thoroughly.
We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers or garden hose to clean your unit. They
may cause damage to electric components,
spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use
of water will result in shortened life and reduce
serviceability.
Lubricate all lubrication points. Wipe the entire
machine with an oiled rag to protect the surfaces.
Refer to the engine manual for correct engine
storage instructions. The engine must be
completely drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits
from forming on essential carburetor parts, fuel
lines and fuel tanks.
Charge battery fully. The battery loses some of its
charge each day when the unit is not used.
NEVER store battery without a full charge. Recharge
battery before returning to service or every two months,
whichever occurs first.
When storing unit for extended periods, disconnect
battery cables. Removing battery from unit is
recommended.
Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
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 chains,
springs, bearings and cables.
