OFF-SEASON STORAGE

WARNING

Never store yard vacuum with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark, or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, or gas appliance.

Preparing THE Engine

For engines stored over 30 days:

1.To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on carburetor parts, run engine until it stops from lack of fuel or add a gasoline additive to the gas in the tank. If you use a gas additive, run the engine for several minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor—after which the engine and fuel can be stored up to six months.

2.While engine is still warm, change the oil.

3.Remove spark plug and pour approximately 1 oz. (30 ml) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the recoil starter several times to distribute the oil, and reinstall the spark plug.

4.Clean engine of surface debris.

Preparing THE yard vacuum

•When storing the yard vacuum in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof the non-painted surfaces. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any springs, bearings, and cables.

•Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment.

•Follow lubrication recommendations.

•Store equipment in a clean, dry area. Do not store in an area where equipment is present that may use a pilot light or has a component that can create a spark.
