12. Winterizing the machine
When stowing away the machine for extended periods of time, it is recommended to follow the
steps below:
• Clean the entire machine thoroughly.
• Give the Edge Styler a major overhaul.
• Make sure the engine is completely drained of fuel: run the engine until the fuel tank and the
carburettor are out of fuel and the engine stops. Alternatively, siphon the fuel off from the
engine’s tank into an approved container.
• Remove the sparking plug (see § 11.4.1.5.: Checking the sparking plug).
• Spray a little amount of MoS2-based penetrating oil into the cylinder.
• Slowly pull the starter cord until the engine is about to crank to allow the oil to cling to the
internas surfaces of the cylinder. Refit the sparking plug finger-tight.
• Touch up all unpainted areas or wipe the entire machine with an oiled rag to protect all metal
surfaces.
• Touch-up paints/lacquers are available from your ELIET dealer.
• Store the machine in a cool, dry and protected location. If necessarey, place a protective cove
-
ring (sailcloth, for example) over the machine.
• Avoid rain/water fr om splashing on the machine.
• At ELIET, we recommend to store the Edge Styler in a ventilated, dry and protected location.
•
Never store the machine in a place where it could be exposed to an open flame.
• Always allow the motor time to cool off prior to covering it with tarp.
