How to Prepare for Storage
WARNING
Never store the edger indoors with fuel in the fuel tank. Never store in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area where fumes
could reach an open flame, a spark or a pilot light as on a furnace, water heater or clothes dryer. Allow engine to cool
before storing unit.
WARNING
Do not remove gasoline while inside a building, near a fire, or while you smoke. Gasoline fumes can cause an explosion
or a fire.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up at an authorized service center will make sure that the edger will provide maximum
performance for the next season.
When the edger is put in storage for thirty days or more, the following steps should be followed to make sure the edger is in good
condition the next season.
1. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline.
2. Change the oil by following instructions under "How to Change the Oil."
3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour one ounce of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the recoil-start grip so
that the oil will protect the cylinder. Install a new spark plug in the cylinder. Pull starter handle slowly a few times to
distribute oil. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the cylinder valves.
WARNING
DO NOT attach spark plug wire to spark plug when storing unit.
4. Clean edger. Remove all dirt, leaves, debris, grease, etc. from the edger - including cylinder cooling fans, recoil starter
cover holes, under fuel tank, and under muffler.
5. Check the edger for worn or damaged parts. Have damaged parts replaced if necessary.
6. Tighten any loose hardware.
7. Apply lubrication as directed in Maintenance section.
8. Put the unit in a building that has good ventilation.
9. Cover the edger with a breathing material.
