Long Term Storage

Whenever the unit will not be used for

30 days or longer, use the following

procedures to prepare it for storage:

Clean external parts thoroughly and

apply a light coating of oil to all metal

surfaces.

Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank.

IMPORTANT!

All stored fuels should be stabilized with a

fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.

To remove the remaining fuel from the

fuel lines and carburetor and with the fuel

drained from the fuel tank.

1. Prime the primer bulb until no more fuel

is passing through.

. Start and run the engine until stops

running.

3. Repeat steps 1 and until the engine will

no longer start.

CAUTION!
Gasoline stored in the carburetor

for extended periods can cause

hard starting, and could also lead to

increased service and maintenance

costs.

Remove the spark plug and pour about

7 grams of -cycle mixing oil into the

cylinder through the spark plug hole.

Slowly pull the recoil starter or 3

times so oil will evenly coat the interior

of the engine. Reinstall the spark plug.

Before storing the unit, repair or replace

any worn or damaged parts.

Remove the air cleaner element from the

carburetor and clean it thoroughly with

soap and water. Let dry and reassemble

the element.

Store the unit in a clean, dust-free area.

Blade Sharpening

WARNING!

Sharpen only the cutting teeth

of a blade. DO NOT alter the

contour of the blade in any way. In

order to keep the blade in balance,

all cutting edges must be sharpened

equally. DO NOT file the tips of the

teeth too sharp.

With the file or a grinder, file a blade

as follows.

The bottom of each tooth must remain unsharpened.

(Blade as viewed from bottom)

4-Tooth Blade

8-Tooth Blade

Make sure the width of the 3 sides/

4 sides is all the same.

The sharpening angle should be 45° approx.

Do not file the tips of the blade too sharp.

Leave 0.2~0.5mm unsharpened.
