Troubleshooting - MTD H12 Get To Know

Long-term storage
If the unit is to be stored for a prolonged period, proceed
as follows:
1. Drain all the fuel out of the tank and pour into a container
with the same two-stroke mixture. Do not use fuel which
has been stored for longer than 60 days.
2. Start the engine and leave running until it stops.
This ensures that there is no fuel left in the carburettor.
3. Leave the engine to cool down. Take out the spark plug
and pour a high-quality engine oil or two-stroke oil into
the cylinder. Slowly pull the starter rope to distribute
the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
Note: Before starting the lawn trimmer after storage, take out
the spark plug and pour all the oil out of the cylinder.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and check for loose and
damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and
tighten loose screws, nuts and bolts. The unit can now
be stored.
5. Store the unit locked away or high up to prevent
unauthorised use and damage. Keep the unit away
from children.
