When transporting the tiller, turn the fuel valve OFF and keep the
tiller level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may
ignite.
Gasoline is flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks near the equipment while draining
fuel.
Gasoline might leak and ignite unless the drain knob is tightened
securely.

Before storing the unit for an extended period:
Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
Drain the fuel:
Do not place the tiller with the handlebars on the ground. It will cause
the oil entering the cylinder or fuel will spill over.
Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. Continue pulling until the
notch on the starter pulley aligns with the hole on the recoil starter.
At this point, the intake and exhaust valves are closed, and this will
help to protect the engine from internal corrosion.
Change engine oil and transmission oil.
Cover the tiller with plastic sheet.
With the fuel valve turned OFF, remove and empty the fuel
strainer cup.
Turn the fuel valve ON and drain the gasoline in the fuel tank into
a suitable container.
Reinstall the fuel strainer cup and tighten securely. (P. 37)
Drain the carburetor by loosening the drain knob 1 or 2 turns. Be
sure to catch the drained gasoline with a suitable container.
After draining the gasoline completely, tighten the drain knob
securly.
