Tiller Storage
Whenever you don’t intend to
use your tiller for 30 days or
longer, you should perform the fol­
lowing steps to ensure that it will
start easily and perform properly
when removed from storage.
1. To prevent harmful gum de­
posits from forming in the fuel
tank or carburetor, gasoline should
be drained out or treated with a
fuel stabilizer (such as STA - BIL).
Refer to the “Storage” instructions
in your Engine Owner Manual for
specific instructions.
NOTE: If Gasohol has been used
in the engine, refer to your Engine
Owner’s Manual for specific in­
structions.
