Prepare for storage
Follow the steps below to prepare your cultivator for storage. Read your engine manual for
detailed instructions on preparing the engine for storage.

- Remove lock pin and slide wheel off hub.
- Coat the axles lightly with axle grease.
- Slide wheel back on hub and insert lock pin.

stabilizer to prevent fuel from becoming unusable during extended storage period.
While engine is still warm, drain the oil from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the
recommended grade.
Clean external surfaces, engine and cooling fan.
Remove sparking plug, pour one ounce of SAE 30 oil into sparking plug hole.

Transport unit to a suitable storage location. If you have chosen to use a fuel stabilizer and
have not drained the fuel system, follow all safety instructions and storage precautions in
this manual to prevent the possibility of fire due to the ignition of petrol fumes. Remember,
petrol fumes can travel to distant sources of ignition and ignite, causing explosions and fire.
If there is any possibility of unauthorized use or tampering, remove the sparking plug and
store it in a safe place before storing the cultivator unit. Be sure to plug the sparking plug
hole to prevent foreign material from entering.
