Operation (cont’d)
o Away from sources of heat, open flames, sparks, or pilot lights, even
if the grinder’s gas tank is empty. Residual gasoline could ignite.
o Away from extreme high or low temperatures.
o Cover it for extra protection
Remove key from starter and secure key in a safe location, or remove
spark plug, in order to ensure the grinder cannot be started in a storage
location or by untrained persons or children.
Start grinder every
4 weeks
The grinder should be started regularly. At least every four weeks, start
the engine and let it run for 10 to 15 minutes.
Monthly exercising of the grinder will dry out any moisture that has
accumulated, lubricate cylinders, and clean out old gas in the carburetor.
Moisture, old gas, and dry mechanical parts cause deterioration in stored
engines.
