STORAGE

STORAGE PREPARATION

Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your tiller trouble free and looking good. The following steps will

help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your tiller’s function and appearance, and will make the engine

easier to start when you use the tiller again.

Cleaning

1. Wash the tiller, including the area around the tiller tines.

2. Wash the engine by hand, and be careful to prevent water from entering the air cleaner.

NOTICE

Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force water into the air cleaner. Water in the air

cleaner will soak the filter and can enter the carburetor or engine, causing damage.

3. Water on a hot engine can cause damage. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 1/2 hour

before washing.

4. If using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment to clean the tiller, be careful to avoid getting water into

controls and cables, or anywhere near the engine air cleaner or muffler opening.

5. After washing the tiller, wipe dry all accessible surfaces.

6. Start the engine outdoors, and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature to evaporate any water

remaining on the engine.

7. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.

8. After the tiller is clean and dry, touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film

of oil. Lubricate the throttle cable core with a silicone spray lubricant.

Fuel

Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits

that restrict the fuel system. If the gasoline in your tiller deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the

carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.

The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing functional problems will

vary with such factors as gasoline blend, storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely

filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate

fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not

fresh when you filled the fuel tank.

The Distributors Limited Warranty (see page 39) does not cover fuel system damage or engine performance

problems resulting from neglected storage preparation.

You can extend fuel storage life by adding a gasoline stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid

fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetor.

Adding Fuel Stabilizer To Extend Fuel Storage Life

When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote

fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh

gasoline.

Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions.

After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced

the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
