Chapter 5: Storing The DR
®
PRO XL-DRT
If the DR
®
PRO XL-DRT will not be used for a period longer than 30 days, follow the steps below to prepare your unit for storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days. Stale fuel has high gum
content and can clog the carburetor and restrict fuel flow.
2. Start the engine and run until it stops. This helps prevent gum deposits from forming inside the carburetor and possible
engine damage.
3. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the grade recommended in the Engine
Manual.
4. Use clean cloth to clean off the outside of the machine and to keep the air vents free of obstructions.
5. Inspect for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts.
6.
Store your unit on flat ground in a clean, dry building that has
good ventilation.
Do not use strong detergents or petroleum based cleaners when cleaning plastic parts. Chemicals can damage plastics.
Do not store the machine with fuel in a non- ventilated area where fuel fumes may reach flame, sparks, pilot lights or any ignition
sources.
