OFF-SEASON STORAGE
If the tiller is not to be used for a while the following
procedure should be followed. The tines, depth bar,
chain case and wheels should be cleaned of all dirt.
It is very important that the unit be stored in a level posi¬
tion to prevent engine oil from draining into the cylinder
head cavity.
Engines on tillers to be stored between seasons should
be completely drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits
forming on essentia! carburetor parts and fuel tank.
1. All fuel should be removed from fuel tank. Run the
engine untl it stops from lack of fuel. The small
amount of fuel that remains in the sump of the tank
should then be removed by absorbing it with a
clean dry cloth.
2. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinder, cylinder head
fins and blower housing.
3. Remove spark plug, pour 2 or 3 tablespoons ot
SAE-30 oil into cylinder and pull crank cord out
slowly to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.

equipment

metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rustproof the equipment.
