SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT

STORAGE

WARNING: Never store the cul- tivator indoors with fuel in the fuel tank. Never store in an en-

closed, poorly ventilated area where fumes could reach an open flame, a spark or a pilot light as on a furnace, wa- ter heater or clothes dryer.

WARNING: Do not remove gas- oline while inside a building, near a fire, or while you smoke.

Gasoline fumes can cause an explosion or a fire.

When the cultivator is put in storage for thirty days or more, follow the steps below to make sure the cultivator is in good condition the following season.

Cultivator

SCompletely clean the cultivator.

SRemove the tines. Clean and apply oil to the tine shafts. Mount the tines onto the tine shafts. See “How To Remove And Install The Tines” in the Service And Ad- justments section.

SLoosen the knobs that secure the upper handle to the lower handle. Carefully fold the upper handle. Make sure the throttle cable is not bent. Tighten the knobs.

SThe cross piece of the upper handle (be- tween the lower handles) can now be used as a carry handle. To store the cul- tivator up off the floor and out of the way, the cross piece can also be hooked over a wall hook.

SPut the cultivator in a building that has good ventilation.

SCover the cultivator with a suitable pro- tective cover that does not retain mois- ture. Do not use plastic.

IMPORTANT: Never cover the cultivator while the engine and exhaust areas are still warm.

NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune−up by a Authorized Service Center is a good way

to make sure that your cultivator will pro- vide maximum performance for the next season.

Engine

WARNING: Store gasoline in a clean, approved container, and keep the cap in place on the

container. Keep gasoline in a cool, well ventilated place; never in the house. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline to assure volatility. Gasoline is intended to be used as a fuel for internal combustion engines; therefore, do not use gasoline for any other purpose. Since many children like the smell of gasoline, keep it out of their reach be- cause the fumes are dangerous to in- hale, as well as being explosive.

CAUTION: Experience indicates that alco- hol blended fuels (called gasohol, 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. To avoid engine prob- lems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carbure- tor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carbure- tor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage can occur.

To prevent engine damage when the cultiva- tor is in storage for 30 days or more, follow the steps below:

SLet the engine run until it is out of gaso- line.

SSlowly pull the starter handle until you feel resistance due to compression in the cylinder, then stop.

SSlowly release the starter rope. This position will close both the intake and the exhaust ports and help prevent corrosion of the piston and cylinder.
