Maintenance
⚠WARNING
 To prevent possible explosion or ignition of vaporized fuel, do not store equipment with fuel in tank
or carburetor in an enclosure or enclosed area with an open flame (for example, a furnace or
water heater pilot light).
Before the equipment is put into storage for any period exceeding 30 days, the following steps
should be completed:
 Drain all fuel from the fuel tank and the fuel lines. Drained fuel may only be stored for 30 days. If
a stabilizer is chosen, follow the manufacturer's recommendation by adding the correct amount of
additive for the amount of fuel to be stored. Fill the tank with this clean, fresh gasoline and run
the engine for 2 to 3 minutes to get the stabilized fuel into the carburetor.
 Start the engine and run until all the fuel is used from the carburetor float bowl and the engine
stops.
 While the engine is still warm, drain the crankcase oil and replace with the proper weight oil
corresponding to the season the equipment will be used next.
 Remove the spark plug and squirt a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder. Reinstall the
plugs and ground spark plug leads- DO NOT connect the leads to the plugs. Crank the engine
two or three revolutions.
 Store the unit and all of its components in a clean, dry, well ventilated, non-child accessible,
sheltered area that is out of sun light and high ambient temperatures.
To put the equipment into service after an extended period of storage:
 Check for loose parts and tighten if necessary.
 Fill the fuel tank and then check the engine oil level. Top off if necessary. See engine manual for
details.
 Start the engine and check for fuel leaks. Repair any leaks before operating the unit.
Troubleshooting
⚠WARNING
 Turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the
spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets,
filling the gas tank, or performing maintenance and repairs.
