Off-Season Storage
If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30
days, the following steps should be taken to prepare the
tiller for storage.
• Clean the exterior of engine and the entire tiller
thoroughly. Lubricate the tiller as described in the
lubrication instructions.
• We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers to clean your unit. They may cause
damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys,
bearings or the engine. The use of pressure
washers will result in shortened life and reduce
serviceability.
• Refer to the engine manual for correct engine
storage instructions.
• Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.
• Store tiller in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in
an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or
silicone, coat the equipment and especially any
springs, bearings, and cables.
