STORAGE
• Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an open ame 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.
• To suspend the attachment from a hook, install the hanger cap onto the attachment. Make sure the
release button is securely locked into one of the holes on the hanger cap.
Short-term Storage (1-2 weeks)
1. Store the unit in a horizontal position. If this is 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 or
2-cycle 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.
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.
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.
