10. TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE
10.1 DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
Drain the old fuel and completely ll the tank with fresh gas and oil mixture. Add a
fuel stabilizer according to the manufacturer’s directions to keep your fuel fresh over
long periods, we recommend B3C fuel additives. Run the engine for 2 minutes to
circulate the fuel stabilizer.
10.2 TRANSPORTING THE TILLER
Do not overll the fuel tank (No residual fuel on the neck of tank).
Avoid exposing the tiller to prolonged direct sunlight while in an
enclosed vehicle. The high temperature inside the vehicle could cause
fuel to vaporize resulting in a possible explosion.
Drain the tiller of fuel and oil before being transported on rough roads.
10.3 STORAGE
Gasoline can oxidize in as little as 30 days, causing gum and varnish to build up in
fuel system components.
NOTE
Ensure that the storage area is free of excess humidity and dust.
DO NOT store tiller in an unventilated area where fuel fumes may reach
ame, sparks, pilot lights or an ignited object.
Drain fuel outdoors away from any ignition sources. Use only approved
fuel containers.
