STORAGE
WARNING: Never store the
Edger 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 Edger is put in storage for thirty
days or more, follow the steps below to
make sure the Edger is in good condition the
following season.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Let the engine run until it is out of gaso-
line.
3. Drain the oil from the warm engine. Fill
the engine crankcase with new oil.
4. Remove the spark plug from the cylin-
der. Pour one ounce of oil into the cylin-
der. Slowly pull the recoil–start grip so
that the oil will protect the cylinder. Install
a new spark plug in the cylinder.
5. Clean the dirt and debris from the cylin-
der cooling fins and the engine housing.
6. Completely clean the Edger.
7. Check the Edger for worn or damaged
parts. Tighten all loose hardware.
8. Apply a small amount of engine oil to all
moving parts, particularly the wheels.
9. Put the unit in a building that has good
ventilation.
10. Cover the Edger with a suitable protec-
tive cover that does not retain moisture.
Do not use plastic.
IMPORTANT: Never cover the Edger while
the engine and exhaust areas are still
warm.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune–up by
an Authorized Service Center is a good
way to make sure that your Edger will
provide maximum performance for the
next season.
