If the machine is to be inoperative for a period
longer than 30 days, prepare for storage as follows.
1. Clean the engine and the entire unit thoroughly.
2. Lubricate all lubrication points. Wipe the entire
machine with an oiled rag to protect the
surfaces.
3. Refer to the engine manual for correct engine
storage instructions. The engine must be
completely drained of fuel to prevent gum
deposits from forming on essential carburetor
parts, fuel lines and fuel tanks.

of its charge each day when the unit is not
used. NEVER store battery without a full
charge. Recharge battery before returning to
service or every two months, whichever occurs
first.

disconnect battery cables. Removing battery
from unit is recommended.
