STORAGE
WARNING: Never store the cul-
tivator indoors with fuel in the
fuel tank. Never store in an en-
closed, poorly ventilated area where
fumes could reach an open flame, a
spark or a pilot light as on a furnace, wa-
ter heater or clothes dryer.
WARNING: Do not remove gas-
oline while inside a building,
near a fire, or while you smoke.
Gasoline fumes can cause an explosion
or a fire.
When the cultivator is put in storage for thirty
days or more, follow the steps below to
make sure the cultivator is in good condition
the following season.
Cultivator
S Completely clean the cultivator.
S Remove the tines. Clean and apply oil to
the tine shafts. Mount the tines onto the
tine shafts. See “How To Remove And
Install The Tines” in the Service And Ad-
justments section.
S
Loosen the knobs that secure the upper
handle to the lower handle. Carefully fold
the upper handle. Make sure the throttle
cable is not bent. Tighten the knobs.
S The cross piece of the upper handle (be-
tween the lower handles) can now be
used as a carry handle. To store the cul-
tivator up off the floor and out of the way,
the cross piece can also be hooked over
a wall hook.
S Put the cultivator in a building that has
good ventilation.
S
Cover the cultivator with a suitable pro-
tective cover that does not retain mois-
ture. Do not use plastic.
IMPORTANT: Never cover the cultivator
while the engine and exhaust areas are
still warm.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune–up by a
Authorized Service Center is a good way
to make sure that your cultivator will pro-
vide maximum performance for the next
season.
Engine
IMPORTANT: 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 gaso-
hol, 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 en-
gine while in storage.
To prevent engine damage when the cultiva-
tor is in storage for 30 days or more, follow
the steps below:
S Let the engine run until it is out of gaso-
line.
S
Slowly pull the starter handle until you
feel resistance due to compression in
the cylinder, then stop.
S Slowly release the starter rope. This
position will close both the intake and the
exhaust ports and help prevent corrosion
of the piston and cylinder.
