CLEANING AND STORAGE
Cleaning
Use a small brush to clean the outside of the
unit. Do not use strong detergents. Household
cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine
and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can
damage plastic. Wipe off any moisture with a
soft cloth.
Clean the edger blade with water. Wipe the edger
blade with a light machine oil to prevent rust.
WARNING:
To avoid serious
personal injury, always stop the
engine and allow it to cool before
cleaning or maintaining the unit.
Storage
• To suspend the attachment from a hook, install
the hanger cap onto the attachment. Make
sure the release button is securely locked
into one of the holes on the hanger cap.
Short-term Storage (1-2 weeks)
1. Store the unit in a horizontal position. If this
is not possible, store the unit vertically with
the engine at the top.
Long-term Storage
1. Remove the fuel cap, tip the unit and drain
the fuel into an approved container. Reinstall
the fuel cap.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it
stalls. This ensures that all fuel has been
drained from the carburetor.
