When the tiller is put in storage for thirty days or more, the following steps should be followed to make
sure the tiller is in good condition the next season. To prevent fuel gum deposits and corrosion in the unit's
carburetor and fuel system, it is highly recommended using a fuel additive/stabilizer formulated for ethanol
fuels. Follow the stabilizer manufacturer's instructions. Run the engine for at least 5 minutes after adding
stabilizer.
1. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline. Remove the carburetor screw from bowl and drain fuel. Tilt
unit slightly to remove all fuel. Replace screw.
2. Change the oil.
3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour one ounce of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the
recoil—start handle so that the oil will protect the cylinder. Install a new spark plug in the cylinder. Pull
the starter handle slowly a few times to distribute oil. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will
close the cylinder valves.
Do not attach spark plug wire to spark plug when storing the unit.
4. Clean tiller. Remove all dirt, leaves, debris, grease, etc. from the tiller — including cylinder cooling fans,
recoil starter cover holes, under fuel tank, and under mufer.
5. Check the tiller for worn or damaged parts. Have damaged parts replaced if necessary.
6. Tighten any loose hardware.
7. Apply lubrication as directed in Maintenance section.
8. Put the unit in a building that has good ventilation.
9. Cover the tiller with a breathing material.
TRANSPORTING THE TILLER
Empty the gas tank. Always let the engine run until it has used up the remainder of gas in the tank.
Empty the engine oil from the warm engine. Remove the spark plug cover from the spark plug. Clean the
cooling ns of the cylinder and the housing. Use the original packaging to ship whenever possible.
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, switch off the engine and wait until the blade has
come to a stop.
