Preparing the blower for long-term storage
DANGER
It may cause a fire from igniting fuel.
●
Keep open flames away when draining the fuel tank.
●
Take care not to spill fuel, and wipe up all fuel that spills.
CAUTION
Note the following precautions when storing the blower.
●
Avoid leaving the blower outdoors.
●
Avoid leaving the blower inside a hot vehicle in summer.
●
Select a storage location inaccessible to children.
IMPORTANT
●
When not using the blower for a long period (2 months or more), drain the
fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor. Unless drained beforehand, the fuel
in a stored blower will degenerate and cause carburetor clogging or engine
failure (failure to start or less of power).
●
When storing the blower, loosen the fuel tank cap. Tightening it excessively
will cause the gasket to become deformed due to aging.
1.
Inspect the blower components for damage
or looseness, while cleaning off any blower
dirt. Service all problem parts in preparation
for the blower’s next use.
2.
Transfer the fuel in the fuel tank to a container,
then pull out the fuel filter.
3.
Press the carburetor’s primer pump until fuel
stops coming out, then transfer the fuel that
was returned to the fuel tank to the container.
4.
Return the fuel filter to the tank, then attach
the fuel tank cap.
5.
Start the engine and run it until it stops on its
own.
6.
Remove the spark plug and pour 1 to 2 ml
(0.034 to 0.068 fl oz) of two-cycle oil into the
engine. Pull the starter rope two or three
times, then mount the spark plug back in
position, stopping at the compression
position.
7.
Cover the blower with a sheet or tarp and
store it in a dry location free of open flames.
