WARNING: The engine is still hot just after stopping engine. When draining the fuel, allow
sufficient time for the engine to cool down after stopping it. Otherwise a skin burn
and/or fire may result.
DANGER: When the machine is kept out of operation for a long time, drain all fuel from the fuel
tank and carburetor, and keep it at a dry and clean place.
– Drain fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor according to the following
procedure:
1) Remove the fuel tank cap, and drain fuel completely.
If there is any foreign matter remaining in the fuel tank, remove it
completely.
2) Pull out the fuel filter from the refill port using a wire.
3) Push the primer pump until fuel is drained from there, and drain fuel
coming into the fuel tank.
4) Put the filter to the fuel tank, and securely tighten the fuel tank cap.
5) Then, continue to operate the engine until it stops.
– Remove the spark plug, and drip several drops of engine oil through the
spark plug hole.
– Gently pull the starter handle so that engine oil will spread over the engine,
and attach the spark plug.
– Attach the cover to the metal blade.
– In general, store the machine in horizontal position. If it is not possible,
place the machine as the motor unit comes below the cutting tool. Otherwise
engine oil may leak from inside.
– Keep the drained fuel in a special container in a well-ventilated shade.
