And remember: standard pump gasoline deteriorates. You can save space if you hang the equipment. For winter storage, a dry and, if possible, dust-free and frost-free place would be ideal. STIHL MotoMix ® can be left in the machine during seasonal storage. STIHL MotoMix ® contains no ethanol and has a storage life of up to two years. Run the engine until the fuel system is dry (Warning! Do not operate the throttle, run the equipment only at idle speed until the engine stops!) STIHL recommends the use of STIHL MotoMix ® fuel which is pre-mixed with STIHL HP Ultra synthetic oil. The spark arresting screen in the muffler should be cleaned or replaced with a new one. Metal parts should be lightly coated with oil to protect them from rust and corrosion. The air filter, the cylinder fins, the spark plug and the dismantled cutting tool should be checked and cleaned (also see Instruction Manual). To get the equipment ready for winter, clean it first. Only if you plan to 'mothball' your lawn trimmer, brushcutter or chainsaw for a longer period - say during the winter months - should you pay a little more attention to the topic of 'care.' This will ensure that your equipment, when required, will be ready for action.
