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=

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

the cylinder, causing a service problem
