If the trimmer is to be stored for more than 30
days, follow these steps to prepare your unit.
1. Run the engine until it stops from running
out of gasoline. See Engine Manual for
specific instructions on preparing the
engine for storage.
2. Clean all dirt and debris from the trimmer.
Refer to
Maintenance
for cleaning
instructions.
3. Inspect unit for signs of wear, breakage or
damage. Order any parts required and
make necessary repairs to avoid delays
when beginning use again.
4. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws properly
tightened and know unit is in safe working
condition.
Fuel System
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,
resulting in gum deposits in the system. These
deposits can damage the carburetor and the
fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent deposits
from forming in the fuel system during storage
by adding a quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel.
Follow the recommended mix ratio found on
the fuel stabilizer container.
To treat the fuel system for storage:
1. Add fuel stabilizer according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes after
adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the
carburetor.
NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel
tank inside of a building with potential sources
of ignition.
STORAGE
WARNING:
AVOID INJURY.
