Storing Your Cultivator / Edger

•Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts, or bolts.

•Wipe equipment with a oiled rag to prevent rust.

•Never store the unit with fuel in the tank where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

•Always store unit in cultivator mode (all four tines on unit) to avoid tip over.

Engine

If the unit will be stored for longer than 60 days:

•Clean engine by removing dirt and debris with a cloth or brush from cooling fins, air intake screen, levers, and linkage. This will help ensure adequate cooling engine speed.

•Drain all gasoline from the gas tank into a container and dispose in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

•Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures that all gasoline has been drained from the carburetor.

•Allow the engine to cool and remove the spark plug and put 1 oz. (30ml) of high quality motor oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil and reinstall the spark plug.

NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder before attempting to start the unit after storage.

•When changing oil, refer to the Maintenance section. Dispose of the oil in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

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

•For more compact storage, store unit in the shipping position with the upper handle folded toward engine. See ASSEMBLY section for details.
