STORAGE
1. Inspect, refill and replace the blower oil per the instructions in the blower manual. Use a high quality hydraulic
oil.
2. Inspect the airlock assembly, it must turn freely.
3. Do not allow the airlock assembly and blower to be exposed to water, moisture or condensation. Store in a
clean dry area.
NOTE: If airlock and/or blower are exposed to water they will rust and may cause NON-REPAIRABLE
internal damage.
4. Lubricate the airlock and blower with “fogging oil” before and after the in-use season.
5. Clean and lubricate the machine before putting into storage. Do not leave seed or seed treatments/inoculants
in or near the airlock.
IMPORTANT: Do Not Use a pipe wrench to free a stuck airlock.
6. Remove hoses from all fittings, cap or cover the hoses, airlock and blower fittings to repel rodents and
moisture and to seal in lubricants.
7. Gasoline engines stored over 30 days need to be protected or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in
fuel system or essential carburetor parts. For gasoline engine protection, we recommend use of fuel stabilizer
available from an authorized service dealer. Mix stabilizer with fuel tank or storage container. Run engine for
a short time to circulate stabilizer through carburetor. Engine and fuel can be stored up to 24 months.
NOTE: If stabilizer is not used or if engine is operating on gasoline containing alcohol, e.g. gasohol, remove all fuel from tank and
run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
STORAGE PROCEEDURES FOR GAS/LPG/NG ENGINES
1.
Change oil.
2. Remove spark plug and pour about 15 ml (1/2oz.) of engine oil into cylinder. Replace spark plug and crank slowly to
distribute oil.
3. Clean chaff and debris from cylinder and cylinder head fins, under finger guard and behind muffler.
4. Store in a clean and dry area, but NOT near a stove, furnace or water heater which uses a pilot light or any device that
create a spark.
