CLEANING
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always stop the engine
and allow it to cool before cleaning or maintaining the
unit.
Use a small brush to clean the outside of the unit. Do
not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that
contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and
solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic. Wipe
off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an
open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Lock up the unit to prevent unauthorized use or
damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
Short-term Storage (1-2 weeks)
Store the unit in a horizontal position. If not possible,
store the unit vertically with the engine at the top.
Long-term Storage
1. Remove the fuel cap, tip the unit and drain the fuel
into an approved container. Reinstall the fuel cap.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls.
This ensures that all fuel has been drained from the
carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug
and put 5 drops of any high quality motor oil into the
cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the
oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose
or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts
and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts.
5. Store the unit in a horizontal position. If horizontal
storage is not possible, store unit vertically with
engine at top.
Preparing the Unit for Use after Long-term
Storage
1. Remove the spark plug. Tip the unit and drain all of
the oil from the cylinder into an approved container.
Reinstall the spark plug.
2. Change the oil. Refer to Changing the Oil.
NOTE: Do not use fuel that has been stored for more
than 30 days. Dispose of old fuel and oil according to
federal, state and local regulations.
TRANSPORTATION
Transport the unit in a horizontal position. If not
possible, transport the unit vertically with the engine at
the top. Secure the trimmer shaft to prevent damage
during transport.
