Storage
The following precautions should be taken if storing
your trimmer unit for a period exceeding 30 days, or for
seasonal storage.
• While engine is still warm, change oil.
• Clean engine of surface debris, chaff or grass.
• Drain all fuel from fuel tank into proper receptacle
for storage.
• Press primer bulb 15 times to purge fuel from
carburetor and fuel lines. Drain remaining fuel into
proper receptacle. If fuel is to be disposed, please
refer to local rules for proper disposal.
• Remove spark plug. Place 1 teaspoon or 5 ml. of oil
into spark plug hole.
• Pull starter rope slowly 8-10 times to properly coat
the cylinder bore and piston for storage. Replace
spark plug and tighten. Any residual oil may burn off
in subsequent starts. This may result in white
smoke emission from muffler.
• This trimmer may be stored in a variety of positions.
It is best to store in horizontal position with the
spark plug up. Do not store or transport with the
spark plug down.
Note:
Storing or transporting with the spark plug down
will result in hard starting and/or engine smoking.
• Store in a clean dry area.
• When removing unit from storage, only use fresh
gasoline. Perform operation checks (see
maintenance schedule) before starting engine.
When storing fuel or equipment with fuel in
tank:
WARNING
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters,
or other appliances that have a pilot light or other
ignition source because they can ignite vapors.
When Transporting Equipment:
• Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with
fuel shut-off valve OFF.
