If the edger will not be used for 30 days or longer, the equipment needs to be stored properly. Follow storage instructions below to ensure top
performance from the edger for many more years.
PRePARiNg THe eNgiNe
Engines stored over 30 days need to be drained of fuel to prevent
deterioration and gum from forming in the 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.

Remove the spark plug and pour approximately 1 oz. (30 ml) of
clean engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the recoil starter several
times to distribute the oil, and reinstall the spark plug.

Clean debris from around the engine, and under, around, and
behind the muffler. Apply a light film of oil on any areas that are
susceptible to rust.

Store in a clean, dry and well ventilated area away from any
appliance that operates with a flame or pilot light, such as a
furnace, water heater or clothes dryer. Avoid any area with a spark
producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.
