2.7 SERVICE POSITION

To ensure the unit is positioned in the proper service

position place unit on a flat level surface. ALWAYS stop

engine. Assure unit is secure and will not tip over. Strap

and clamp onto lift if used.

See Service Position in General Maintenance for

specific instructions.

2.8 CLEANING AND STORAGE

IMPORTANT: Never spray unit with water or store unit

outdoors to help prevent sealed bearing rust or

corrosion. Water can seep into sealed bearings and

reduce component life. Bearings are sealed against dirt

and debris only.

A unit that is excessively dirty should be cleaned

before work starts. Cleaning will occasionally uncover

trouble sources. Dirt and abrasive dust reduce the

efficient work life of parts and can lead to costly

replacement.

When taking unit out of extended storage:

1. Check for any damage or loose parts. Repair,

replace, or tighten hardware before operation.

2. If a preservative fluid was used in fuel tank, drain

and discard. Fill fuel tank with fresh new fuel.
