TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
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 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.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity,
because that promotes rust and corrosion.
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, promoting rust
and corrosion.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Check your tiller as described in the BEFORE
OPERATION chapter (see page 10) of this manual.
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation,
fill the tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a
container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it
contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and
deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage
preparation, the engine will smoke briefly at
startup. This is normal.
