STORAGE

WARNING: When draining the fuel, be sure to stop the engine and confirm that the engine cools
down.
The engine is still hot just after stopping the engine. Wait until it cools down,
otherwise it may cause burns or fire.
When the machine is kept out of operation for a long time, perform the
followings:
– 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 cutting tool.
– 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.
– In general, store the machine in horizontal position, or if it is not possible,
place the machine as the engine comes below the cutting tool. Otherwise
engine oil may leak from inside. Pay full attention how to store the machine to
prevent the machine from falling. Otherwise it may result in personal injury.
– Keep the drained fuel in a special container in a well-ventilated shade.
Attention after long-time storage
– Before startup after long-time storage, be sure to replace engine oil (refer to "REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE OIL"). Oil will deteriorate
while the machine is kept out of operation.
