CLEANING THE UNIT

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,

always turn your unit off and allow it to cool before you clean or service it.

•Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit and to keep the air vents free of obstructions.

•Do not use strong detergents or petroleum based cleaners, like kerosene. Some household cleaners contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon that can damage the plastic housings or handles. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.

STORAGE

•Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

•Allow the engine to cool before storing.

•Store the unit in a locked up area to prevent unauthorized use or damage.

•Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.

•Store the unit out of the reach of children.

LONG TERM STORAGE

If you plan to store the unit for an extended time:

1.Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a container. Do not use fuel that has been stored for more than 60 days. Dispose of the old fuel in accordance to local regulations.

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

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

4.Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is ready for storage.
