STORAGE

Prepare your Craftsman Yard Vacuum for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or longer. A yearly check-up by your local Sears Service Center is a good way to ensure that the unit runs properly next season.

Yard Vacuum

Clean the equipment thoroughly.

Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust. Use a light oil or silicone to wipe.

Service the engine following instructions below.

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

Engine

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using 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 problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Follow these instruction:

Drain the fuel tank.

Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

Drain carburetor.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.

Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.

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

Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using

fuel stabilizer. Drain all the oil from the crankcase (this should be done after the engine has been operated and is still warm) and refill the crankcase with fresh oil.

If you have drained the fuel tank, protect the inside of the engine as follows:

Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (approximately one tablespoon) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil.

Replace spark plug.

Other

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

Replace the gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause problems.

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

NOTE: If storing in an unventilated or metal storage shed, be certain to rustproof the equipment by coat- ing with a light oil or silicone.
