Prepare for Storage

Follow the steps below to prepare your tiller for storage. Read your engine manual for detailed instructions on preparing the engine for storage.

1.Protect wheels and axles from rust:

-Loosen locking bolt inside wheel. Slide wheel toward machine.

-Coat the axles lightly with axle grease.

-Move wheel back into position and snug locking bolt. Back off locking bolt 1/16 turn and lock jam nut.

2.Drain fuel system completely following engine manufacturer's instructions or add fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel from gumming up during extended storage period.

3.While engine is still warm, drain the oil from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the recommended grade.

4.Clean external surfaces, engine and cooling fan.

Storage

5.Remove spark plug, pour one ounce of SAE 30 oil into spark plug hole.

6.Plug hole and pull starter cord slowly to distribute oil evenly in cylinder head area.

7.Reinstall spark plug.

8.Transport unit to a suitable storage location. If you have chosen to use a fuel stabilizer and have not drained the fuel system, follow all safety instructions and storage precautions in this manual to prevent the possibility of fire from the ignition of gasoline fumes. Remember, gasoline fumes can travel to distant sources of ignition and ignite, causing risk of explosion and fire.

9.If there is any possibility of unauthorized use or tampering, remove the spark plug and store it in a safe place before storing the rototiller unit away. Be sure to plug the spark plug hole to prevent foreign material from entering.

WARNING

Do not store tiller in an unventilated area where fuel fumes may reach flame, sparks, pilot lights or an ignited object. Drain fuel outdoors away from any ignition sources. Use only approved fuel containers.
