FALL - Getting Ready For Storage


Trimmers

Clean the inside of the deflector to remove built-up grass. Remove the cutting line head on your trimmer, disassemble it and clean out all the debris (see your instruction manual).

Edgers

Clean out any dirt that has accumulated in the cutting guard.

Hedge Trimmers

Clean out any dirt that has accumulated in the cutting guard.

General


Remove and examine the spark plug for excessive carbon buildup and adjust the electrode gap to its specification.



Check the spark arresting screen.


Standard pump gasoline quickly deteriorates and should not be kept over 30 days in any season.


Empty the fuel tank.


Put it away. For long–term storage, a dry and, if possible, dust– and frost–free place would be ideal.
