STORAGE
Take the following measures before storing your Tiller/Cultivator for a long period:
1. Do not store your Tiller/Cultivator with fuel still in it. Even under ideal conditions,
stored fuel containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days. And, since
stale fuel has a high gum content, it can clog the carburetor, this, in turn, will
restrict fuel flow. So, when you’re ready to store your Tiller/Cultivator, or will not
be using it for more than 2 weeks, drain the fuel tank completely.
2. Next, restart the engine to make sure no fuel is left in the carburetor. Then run
the engine until it stops. This will prevent gum deposits forming inside of the
carburetor and possible engine damage.
3. Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug. (Use a 19mm spark-plug
wrench.) Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, two cycle oil through the
spark-plug hole into the combustion chamber. Slowly pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
4. Inspect the spark plug, and, , clean and replace it, if necessary
5. Install the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire disconnected.
6. Clean the air filter as described earlier.
7. Clean dirt, grass, and other materials from the entire machine.
8. Wipe the tines with oil or spray them with WD-40, to prevent rusting.
9. Oil the throttle cable and all visible moving parts. (Do not remove the engine
cover.)
10. Order new parts to replace any that are badly worn or broken. Just contact your
local authorized dealer. But do it early, so you will have the parts well before the
next gardening season starts.
11. Store your Tiller/Cultivator
—
in an upright position
—
in a clean, dry place.
12. Do you have fuel left over from last season? Dispose of it properly. Buy fresh oil
and gasoline next season.
How to Prepare Your Tiller/Cultivator for the Restart:
When you take your Tiller/Cultivator out of storage, remove the spark plug. Pull the starter
cord three or four times to clean oil from the combustion chamber. Wipe oil from the spark
plug. Place the spark plug back into the cylinder. Reconnect the spark plug wire back on
the spark plug. Then follow the steps to refuel and restart your Tiller/Cultivator.
Again, Check the Carburetor
. If your Tiller/Cultivator won’t restart or if it lacks its usual
power -the carburetor may need attention.
Check the Spark Plug Too
. If your Tiller/Cultivator won’t restart, or if it lacks full power, the
spark plug may be at fault. Check to see if the plug is fouled with oily black deposits.
Clean or replace it if necessary. Also, check whether the center electrode is rounded at the
end, or if the ground electrode is worn. If either is the case, you should replace it new spark
plug. Use a 19mm spark-plug wrench to install it. Adjust the plug gap to 06
～
0.7mm To
Install the spark plug first turn the plug until it is finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn
more with a socket wrench.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To avoid possible damage to the threads, do not try to remove the plug from a hot aluminum
cylinder head.
