LONG TERM STORAGE
If planning on storing the unit for an extended time, use the following storage
procedure:
1. Carefully drain the fuel tank by running the unit dry or remove fuel cap
and tip the motor housing over and drain oil/gas fuel into a container
with the same 2-cycle fuel mixture. Do not use fuel that has been stored
for more than 60 days.
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 1 oz. (30 ml)
of any high quality motor oil or 2-cycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the
starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder before
attempting to start the trimmer after storage.
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. The unit is ready for storage.
