Immediately
prepare
your tiller for storage
at the end of the season
or if the unit will
not be used for 30 days or more.
_Warning:
Never store the tiller with gas-
oline in the tank inside a building
where
fumes
may reach
an open flame or spark.
Allow the engine
to cool before
storing
in
any enclosure.
TILLER
1.
Clean
entire tiller (See "CLEANING"
in
the Maintenance
section
of this man-
ual).
2.
Inspect
and replace
belts,
if necessary
(See belt replacement
instructions
in
the Service
and Adjustments
section
of
this manual).
3.
Lubricate
as shown
in the Maintenance
section
of this manual.
4.
Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are securely
fastened.
Inspect
moving
parts for damage,
breakage
and wear.
Replace
if necessary.
5. Touch up all rusted or chipped
paint
surfaces;
sand lightly before

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.
Also, alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol
or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting the en-
gine and letting it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer
is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing
the formation
of
fuel gum deposits
during
storage.
Add
stabilizer
to gasoline
in fuel tank or stor-
age container.
Always
follow the mix ratio
found on stabilizer
container.
Run engine
at least 10 minutes
after adding
stabilizer
to allow the stabilizer
to reach the carbu-
retor.
Do not empty the gas tank and
carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE
OIL
Drain oil (with engine
warm)
and replace
with clean
oil. (See "ENGINE"
in the Main-
tenance
section
of this manual).
CYLINDER
1.
Remove
spark
plug.
2.
Pour 1 ounce
(29 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder.
3.
Pull starter
handle
slowly several
times
to distribute
oil.
4.
Replace
with new spark
plug.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season
to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can
starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to give protection from dust and
dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protective
cover that does not retain moisture.
Do
not use plastic.
Plastic cannot breathe
which allows condensation to form and
will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT: Never cover tiller while en-
gine and exhaust areas are still warm.
