SERVICE & STORAGE
STORAGE
The following precautions should be taken if storing your
trimmer unit for a period exceeding 30 days, or for seasonal
storage.
• While engine is still warm, change oil.
• Clean engine of surface debris, chaff or grass.
• Drain all fuel from fuel tank into proper receptacle for
storage.
• Press the primer bulb 15 times to purge fuel from
carburetor and fuel lines. Drain remaining fuel into
proper receptacle. If fuel is to be disposed, please refer
to local rules for proper disposal.
• Remove spark plug. Place 1 teaspoon or 5 cc of oil into
spark plug hole.
• Pull starter rope slowly 8-10 times to properly coat the
cylinder bore and piston for storage. Replace spark plug
and tighten. Any residual oil may burn off in subsequent
starts. This may result in white smoke emission from
muffler.
• This trimmer may be stored in a variety of positions. It is
best to store in horizontal position with the spark plug
up. Do not store or transport with the spark plug down.
Note: Storing or transporting with the spark plug
down will result in hard starting and/or engine
smoking.
WARNING
Store in a clean, dry area. Do
not store in same area as a
stove, furnace, water heater,
or other appliance that uses a
pilot light or has a device that
can create a spark.
• When removing the unit from storage, only use fresh
gasoline. Perform operation checks, see maintenance
schedule, before starting engine.
