Storage
Follow these guidelines when storing the edger for
longer than 30 days.
Edger
• Completely clean the edger.
• Check the edger for worn or damaged parts.
Tighten all loose hardware.
• Apply a small amount of engine oil to all moving
parts, particularly the wheels.
• Put the edger in a building that has good
ventilation.
• Never store the edger with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark, or in a confined space such as a
car trunk.
• Store the Edger in the operating position with the
wheels down. If the Edger is stored in any other
position, oil from the crankcase will enter the
cylinder and cause a service problem.
• Cover the edger with a suitable protective cover
that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
Never cover the edger while the engine and
exhaust areas are still warm as this can cause a
fire.
Engine
• If no fuel stabilizer is used, then either drain the
gasoline from the engine or let the engine run until
it is out of gasoline.
• If fuel stabilizer is used, you do not need to drain
gasoline prior to storage. See "Fuel Stabilizer"
section.
• While the engine is still warm, change the engine
oil. See "How To Change The Oil" in the
Maintenance section.
• Lubricate the piston / cylinder area. This can be
done by first removing the spark plug and pouring
1/2 ounce (15 ml.) of clean engine oil into the spark
plug hole. Then, install the spark plug.
• Slowly pull the starter rope. This will turn the
engine's crankshaft and distribute oil slowly through
the engine.
Fuel stabilizer
• If you do not want to remove the gasoline, add a
fuel stabilizer to any gasoline left in the fuel tank. A
fuel stabilizer will minimize gum deposits and acids.
If the fuel tank is almost empty, mix the fuel
stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a separate
container and add the mixture to the fuel tank.
Always follow the instructions on the stabilizer
container. Start the engine. Let the engine run for 3
minutes to allow the mixture to reach the
carburetor.
WARNING
When Storing Gasoline Or Equipment With
Fuel In Tank
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water
heaters or other appliances that have pilot
light or other ignition source because they can
ignite gasoline vapors.
• Do not remove gasoline while inside a
building, near a fire, or while you smoke.
Gasoline fumes can cause an explosion or a
fire.
• Never cover the edger while the engine and
exhaust areas are still warm as this may
cause a fire.
