Off-Season Storage

When the tiller won’t be used for an extended period, prepare it

for storage as follows:

Clean the tiller and engine.
Do routine tiller lubrication and check for loose parts and

hardware.
Protect the engine and perform recommended engine

maintenance by following the storage instructions found

in the Engine Operator’s Manual. Be sure to protect the

fuel lines, carburetor and fuel tank from gum deposits

by removing fuel or by treating fuel with a fuel stabilizer

(follow the engine manufacturer’s recommendations).
Store the tiller in a clean, dry area.
Never store the tiller with fuel in the fuel tank in an

enclosed area where gas fumes could reach an open flame

or spark, or where ignition sources are present (space

heaters, hot water heaters, furnaces, etc.).
