6. Start the engine outdoors, and let it run until it reaches normal
operating temperature to evaporate any water remaining on the
engine.
7. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
8. After the tiller is clean and dry, touch up any damaged paint, and
coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.

Storage Location

If your tiller will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor,
it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a
well-ventilated dry storage area away from any appliance that
operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes
dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or
where power tools are operated.
Place the tiller with its wheels on a level surface. Tilting can cause fuel
or oil leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the tiller to keep out
dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some
materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous
cover will trap moisture around the tiller, promoting rust and corrosion.

Loading

If necessary, loosen the handlebar knobs so that the tiller upper
handlebar can be collapsed. Be careful that the throttle cable and
engine switch wire are not pinched or bent when collapsing the upper
handlebar.

Removing From Storage

When unfolding the handlebar, be sure to lock the handlebar knobs to
secure the handlebar in the tilling position.
Check your tiller as described in BEFORE OPERATION
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the
engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
