_lbARNING: Do not remove gas- near a fire, or while you smoke.

Gasoline fumes can cause an explosion

or a fire.

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

Edger

Completely clean the Edger.

Check the Edger for worn or damaged pads. Tighten all loose hardware.

Apply a smatI amount of engine oil to all moving parts, particularly the wheels.

Put the Edger in a building that has good ventilation.

Cover the Edger with a suitable protec- tive cover that does not retain moisture.

Do not use plastic.

IMPORTANT: Never cover the Edger while the engine and exhaust areas are still

warm.

NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up by a Sears Service Center is a good way to make sure that your Edger will provide maximum performance for the next sea- son.

parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, and tank during storage. Also,

using alcohol-blendedfuels (called gaso- hol, 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 en- gine while in storage.

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

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

If you do not want to remove the gaso-

line, add a fuel stabilizer to any gasoIine Ieft in the fuel tank. A fuel stabilizer will

minimize gum deposits and acids. If the fuel tank is almost empty, mix the fuel stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a sepa- rate container and add the mixture to the

fuel tank. Always follow the instructions on the stabilizer container. Start the en-

gine. Let the engine run for 10 minutes to allow the mixture to reach the carbu-

retor.

Change the engine oil. See "How To Change The Engine Oil" in the Mainte- nance section.

Lubricate the piston/cylinder area. This can be done by first removing the spark plug and squirting a small amount of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole. Then, cover the spark plug hole with a rag to absorb oil spray. Next, rotate the engine by pulling the starter two or three times. Finally, install the spark plug and attach the spark plug wire.

Store the Edger in the operating position with the wheels down. If the Edger is stored in any other position, oil from the crankcase will enter the cylinder and cause a service problem.
