STORAGE

Prepare your Craftsman Yard Vacuum for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or longer. A yearly check-up by your local Sears Parts & Repair Center is a good way to ensure that the unit runs properly next season.

Yard Vacuum

Clean the equipment thoroughly.

Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust. Use a light oil or silicone to wipe.

Service the engine following instructions below.

Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to corrosive materials such as fertilizer.

Engine

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative to emptying the tank of fuel in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank (if FreshStart™ fuel preserver cartridge is empty) or storage container.

Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using

fuel stabilizer.

In all cases, drain all the oil from the crankcase (this should be done after the engine has been operated and is still warm) and refill the crankcase with fresh oil.

When you visually see that the fuel preserver cartridge is empty, replacement cartridges are available through your local Sears Parts & Repair Center and most Sears stores.

If you do not use FreshStart™/ Stabilizer, follow these instructions:

Drain the fuel from the tank by running the engine until the fuel tank is empty.

Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (approximately one tablespoon) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil.

Replace spark plug.

Other

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

Replace the gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause problems.

Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

NOTE: If storing in an unventilated or metal storage shed, be certain to rustproof the equipment by coat- ing with a light oil or silicone.
