Troy-Bilt 2690 Benutzerhandbuch

Engines stored over 30 days need to be drained of fuel to 

prevent deterioration and gum from forming in the fuel 

system or on essential carburetor parts. If the gasoline in your 

engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the 

carburetor, and other fuel system components, serviced or 

replaced.

Remove all fuel from the tank by running the engine until 

1. 

it stops.
NOTE: A fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL™ or ULTRA-FRESH™) 
is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation 
of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to 
gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow 
mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 
10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the 
carburetor.
Change the engine oil.

Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce (30 ml) of 

3. 

clean engine oil through the spark plug hole and into the 

cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with a rag and crank the 

engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace spark 

plug.

Clean debris from around the engine, and under, around, 

4. 

and behind the muffler. Apply a light film of oil on any 

areas that are susceptible to rust.
Store in a clean, dry and well ventilated area away from any 

5. 

appliance that operates with a flame or pilot light, such as a 

furnace, water heater or clothes dryer. Avoid any area with 

a spark producing electric motor, or where power tools are 

operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity.

cause fuel or oil leakage.
