Long-term Storage
The chemical composition of the fuel will deteriorate after prolonged storage. When the machine needs
to be stored for a long time, remove all the fuel from the fuel tank. You can achieve this by running the
engine with the fuel tap being closed. Also remove the fuel from the drain plug.
Clean up oil and dust accumulation on rubber parts.
Clean the base plate and apply a light coating of oil to prevent rust formation.
Cover the machine and store in a dry place.
