STORAGE

WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and understand the entire Safety section before proceeding.

If the trimmer is to be stored for more than 30 days, follow these steps to prepare your unit.

1.Run the engine until it stops from running out of gasoline. See Engine Manual for specific instructions on preparing the engine for storage.

2.Clean all dirt and debris from the trimmer. Refer to Maintenance for cleaning instructions.

3.Inspect unit for signs of wear, breakage or damage. Order any parts required and make necessary repairs to avoid delays when beginning use again.

4.Keep all nuts, bolts and screws properly tightened and know unit is in safe working condition.

Fuel System

Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate, resulting in gum deposits in the system. These deposits can damage the carburetor and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent deposits from forming in the fuel system during storage by adding a quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the recommended mix ratio found on the fuel stabilizer container.

To treat the fuel system for storage:

1.Add fuel stabilizer according to manufacturer’s instructions.

2.Run engine for at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.

NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel tank inside of a building with potential sources of ignition.
