Operator's Manual
String Mower M220
STORAGE
When the mower is put in storage for thirty days or more,
follow the steps below to make sure the mower is in good
condition the following season.
Mower:
Completely Clean The Mower
Remove and discard line or store in a sealed container. Put the
mower in a building that has good ventilation.
NOTE: A yearly check-up or tune-up at an authorized
service dealer will ensure that the mower will
provide maximum performance for the next
season.
Engine:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is important to prevent gum deposits from
forming in fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, and tank during
storage. Also, using alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
1. Drain all gasoline from the fuel tank. Let the engine run
until it is out of gasoline. If you do not want to remove
gasoline, add a fuel stabilizer to any gasoline left in the
tank. A fuel stabilizer will minimize the formation of gum
deposits and acids. If the tank is almost empty, mix the
fuel stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a separate container
and add the mixture to the tank. Always follow the
instructions on the stabilizer container. Run the engine
at least ten minutes after stabilizer is added to allow the
mixture to reach the carburetor.
2. Drain the oil from a warm engine. Fill the engine crankcase
with new oil.
3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour one ounce
of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the recoil starter
handle so that the oil will protect the cylinder. Install a
new spark plug in the cylinder.
4. Completely clean the mower, including dirt and debris
from the cylinder cooling fins and the engine housing.
5. When not in use, disconnect spark plug lead and store in a
well-ventilated area inaccessible to children.
