Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your handy blower
trouble free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep
rust and corrosion from impairing your handy blower.
CAUTION:
• If the handy blower has been running, the engine is very hot; allow
it to cool before proceeding.
• Place the handy blower on a level surface and remove the spark
plug cap to be certain the engine will not start accidentally.
1. Clean all exterior surfaces, touch up any damaged paint, and coat
other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
2. Drain the fuel.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling
fuel. Observe the following.
a. Be sure that the engine oil filler cap is tightened securely.
