CAUTION: NEVER STORE YOUR
EDGER/TRIMMER INDOORS OR IN AN
ENCLOSED, POORLY VENTILATED
AREA IF GASOLINE REMAINS IN THE TANK,
FUMES MAY REACH AN OPEN FLAME, SPARK
OR PILOT LIGHT FROM A FURNACE, WATER
HEATER, CLOTHES DRYER, CIGARETTE, ETC°
To prevent engine damage ( if edger/trimmer is not used
for more than 30 days) follow the steps below.
ENGINE STORAGE
Gasoline must be removed ortreated to prevent gum
deposits from forming in the tank, filter, hose, and
carburetor during storage, Also during storage, al-
cohol blended gasoline that uses ethanol or metha-
nol (sometimes called gasohol)attracts water, it acts
on the gasoline to form acids which damage the
engine=
o
o
To remove gasoline, run the engine until the tank is
empty and the engine stops
If you do not want to remove gasoline, a fuel
stabilizer (such as Sears Craftsman fuet stabilizer
No 33500) may be added to any gasoline left in the
tank to minimize gum deposits and acids tfthe tank
is aimost empty, mix stablilizer with fresh gasoline
in a separate container and add some to the tank
ALWAYS FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON STABI-
LIZER CONTAINER. THEN RUN ENGINE AT
LEAST 10 MINUTES AFTER STABILIZER IS
ADDED TO ALLOW MIXTURE TO REACH CAR-
BURETOR. STORE EDGER/TRIMMER tN A SAFE
PLACE. SEE WARNING ABOVE,
You can keep your engine in good operating condi-
tion during storage by:
Changing oil
®Lubricating the piston/cylinder area This can be
done by first removing the spark plug and squirting
clean engine oil intothe spark plug hole..Then cover
the spark plug hole with a rag to absorb oil spray..
Next, rotate the engine by pulling the starter twoor
three times,. Finafly, reinstall spark plug and attach
spark plug wire.
EDGER/TRIMMER STORAGE
Clean the edger!trimmer thoroughly; remove all
debris and wipe the unit dry
Inspect the edger/trimmer for worn or damaged
parts and tighten all loose hardware.
Oitallpoints described inthe Ltibrication paragraph
in the Maintenance section of this manual
Store the edger/trimmer in aprotected area and
cover for additional protection,.
IMPORTANT: AYEARLY CHECKUP OR TUNEUP BY
A SEARS SERVICE CENTER tS A
GOOD WAY OF ENSURING THAT
YOUR EDGER/TRIMMER WILL
PROVIDE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
FOR THE NEXT SEASON..
OStore the edgerltrimmer inthe wheels-down, oper-
ating position If the edger/trimmer is stored in any
other position, oil from the crankcase could enter
