STORAGE
WARNING: When draining the fuel, be sure to stop the engine and confirm that the
engine cools down.
Just after stopping the engine, it may still hot with possibility of burns, inflammability
and fire.
ATTENTION: When the machine is kept out of operation for a long time, drain up all
fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor, and keep it at a dry and clean
place.
– Drain up fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor according
to the following procedure:
1) Remove the fuel tank cap, and drain fuel completely.
If there is any foreign matter remaining in the fuel tank,
remove it completely.
2) Pull out the fuel filter from the refill port using a wire.
3) Push the primer pump until fuel is drained from there,
and drain fuel coming into the fuel tank.
4) Reset the filter to the fuel tank, and securely tighten
the fuel tank cap.
5) Then, continue to operate the engine until it stops.
– Remove the spark plug, and drip several drops of engine
oil through the spark plug hole.
– Gently pull the starter handle so that engine oil will
spread over the engine, and attach the spark plug.
– Attach the cover to the cutter blade.
– During storage, keep the rod horizontal or keep the
machine upright with the blade edge oriented upward. (In
this case, pay full attention to prevent the machine from
falling.)
Never store the machine with the cutter blade edge
oriented downward. Lubricating oil may spill out.
– Keep the drained fuel in a special container in a well-
ventilated shade.
Attention after long-time storage
– Before startup after long-time shutdown, be sure to replace oil (refer to P 21). Oil will deteriorate while
the machine is kept out of operation.
