Storage - Husqvarna S427 Operator's Manual

Short Term Storage
NEVER spray unit with high pressure water or
store unit outdoors.
Inspect unit for visible signs of wear, breakage
or damage.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws properly
tightened and know unit is in safe working
condition.
Store unit in a cool, dry protected area.
Protect bare-metal areas with a light coat of oil
or anti-rust compound.
Long term
Perform all steps found in Short Term storage.
Touch up all scratched painted surfaces.
Remove weight from wheels by putting blocks
under frame or axle.
Fuel System
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,
resulting in gum deposits in the system. These
deposits can damage the carburetor and the
fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent deposits
from forming in the fuel system during storage
by adding a quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel.
Follow the recommended mix ratio found on
the fuel stabilizer container.

STORAGE

To treat the fuel system for storage:
1. Add fuel stabilizer according to
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Run engine for at least ten minutes after
adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the
carburetor.
3. NEVER store the engine with fuel in
the fuel tank inside of a building with
potential sources of ignition.
Removal From Storage
1. Refer to the engine service manual to
prepare the engine for service.
2. Put fresh, clean fuel in the fuel tank.
3. Begin the maintenance schedule.
