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 and a fuel stabilizer
used to prevent gum deposits from forming on
essential carburetor parts, fuel lines and fuel
tanks.
4. Charge battery fully. The battery loses some 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.
5. When storing unit for extended periods,
disconnect battery cables. Removing battery
from unit is recommended.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next

NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment
in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care
should be taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a
light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially
any chains, springs, bearings and cables.
