Maintenance and Storage
•
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
machine is in safe working condition.
•
Do not use pressure cleaning equipment on the machine.
•
Never store the machine with gasoline in the tank and
inside a building where fumes can reach an open flame
or spark.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment, and gasoline storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
