After a whole year at work tackling heavy growth, it is surely time for your brushcutter to take a break. To ensure you get off to a good start again after the winter, it is necessary to bear in mind a few points when putting it into storage. We have put together some useful simple tips for you:

Draining the tank                 

Before putting your machine into storage, clean it thoroughly and then drain the tank completely. It is best to drain the oil when the engine is warm, to ensure rapid and complete emptying.To empty the carburetor, let the machine idle until the engine stops. Check the machine for any dirt and also allow it to dry completely.

Checking the spark plug

Remove the spark plug and examine it. If the spark plug electrodes are a light reddish brown, then it's OK. If not, the spark plugs may need to be cleaned or replaced.

Clean the air filter

The air filter element should be cleaned to prevent contamination from the engine to premature wear.

Checking the brushcutter cutting blade

 

Remove the metal cutting blade and clean it. Check it for any damage and protect it from corrosion.

Hang up the brushcutter

A brushcutter is best stored hanging up. You can fold in the handlebar to save space. And don't forget to take off harness and keep them clean.
