days or more.
If your brushcutter attachment is to be
stored for a period of time:

clean any dirt, grass, leaves, or de-
bris that has collected. Inspect the
blade and blade shield; replace a

screws or nuts. Replace any dam-
aged, worn or broken parts.

use only fresh fuel having the proper
gasoline to oil ratio.
