Storage
If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than
30 days, the following steps should be taken to
prepare the tiller for storage.
• Clean the exterior of the engine and the
entire tiller thoroughly. Lubricate the tiller as
described in the Lubrication instructions.
• Using a pressure washer to clean your tiller
is not recommended. The washer may cause
damage to the electric components, spindles,
pulleys, bearings or the engine. Using a
pressure washers will result in shortened life
and reduce serviceability.
• Engines stored between 30 and 90 days
need to be treated with a gasoline stabilizer
and engines stored over 90 days need to
be drained of fuel to prevent deterioration
and gum from forming in fuel system or on
essential carburetor parts. If the gasoline in
your engine deteriorates during storage, you
may need to have the carburetor, and other
fuel system components, serviced or replaced.
• Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual for the
additional engine storage instructions.
• Wipe the tines with an oiled rag to prevent
rust.
• Store the tiller 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 area or metal
storage shed, care should be taken to
rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or
silicone, coat the equipment and especially
any springs, bearings, and cables.
