STORAGE WARNING: When draining the fuel, be sure to stop the engine and confirm that the engine cools down. Just after stopping the engine, it may still hot with possibility of burns, inflammability and fire. ATTENTION: W hen the machine is kept out of operation for a long time, drain up all fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor, and keep it at a dry and clean place. -- Drain up fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor according to the following procedure: 1) Remove the fuel tank cap, and drain fuel completely. If there is any foreign matter remaining in the fuel tank, remove it completely. 2) Pull out the fuel filter from the refill port using a wire. 3) Push the primer pump until fuel is drained from there, and drain fuel coming into the fuel tank. 4) Reset the filter to the fuel tank, and securely tighten the fuel tank cap. 5) Then, continue to operate the engine until it stops. Drain fuel Humidity -- Remove the spark plug, and drip several drops of engine oil through the spark plug hole. -- Gently pull the starter handle so that engine oil will spread over the engine, and attach the spark plug. -- Do not move the lever in the lock position while not mounting the attachment. The lever in the lock position without the attachment being mounted does not allow the pole shaft of the attachment to be mounted. -- In general, store the machine in horizontal position. If it is not possible, place the machine as the motor unit comes below the cutting tool. Otherwise engine oil may leak from inside. -- Always pay attention to storing the machine in a safe place to prevent machine damage and personal injury. -- Keep the drained fuel in a special container in a well-ventilated shade. Attention after long-time storage -- Before startup after long-time shutdown, be sure to replace oil (refer to P 16). Oil will deteriorate while the machine is kept out of operation.
