SECTION 9: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30 days, the following steps should be taken to prepare the tiller for storage.
•Clean the exterior of engine and the entire tiller thoroughly. Lubricate the tiller as described in the lubrication instructions.
•We do not recommend the use of pressure washers to clean your unit. They may cause damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

Tires
Recommended operating tire pressure is approximately 20 p.s.i. (check sidewall of tire for tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure). Maximum tire pressure under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire pressure should be maintained on both tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is clean and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim generously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i. to seat beads.
WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30 p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/ rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury.
•Refer to the engine manual for correct engine storage instructions.
•Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.
•Store tiller in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any springs, bearings and cables.
