9. TRANSPORTING/STORAGE

When transporting the tiller, turn the fuel valve OFF and keep the tiller
level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite.
Before storing the unit for an extended period:
1.Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2.Drain the fuel:
Gasoline is flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks near the equipment while draining
fuel.
a. With the fuel valve turned OFF, remove and empty the sediment cup.
b. Turn the fuel valve ON and drain the gasoline in the fuel tank into a
suitable container.
c. Reinstall the sediment cup, O-ring, and fiter. Tighten securely.
d. Drain the carburetor by loosening the drain knob. Drain the gasoline
into a suitable container.

3.Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. Continue pulling until the
notch on the starter pulley aligns with the hole on the recoil starter.
At this point, the intake and exhaust valves are closed, and this will
help to protect the engine from internal corrosion.
4.Change engine oil and transmission oil.
5.Cover the tiller with plastic sheet.
Do not place the tiller with the handlebars on the ground. It will cause
the oil to enter the cylinder or fuel will spill over.
