Edger Care Tips
A quick cleaning at the end of each day of use, both rids the engine of potentially harmful dirt, and gives the operator a chance to check for anything alarming, including leaks, loose parts and damaged
components on the edger.
Make sure to tighten loose parts that are causing leaks or that could vibrate and potentially harm nearby components. Replace anything that is damaged.
Prior to cleaning, always be sure to shut off the engine and allow ample cool-down time. Attempting to clean a hot engine with cold water may cause cracks or other damage, but is also dangerous for the operator. An engine and its components can become extremely hot during operation, and an operator may receive severe burns if a hot part, such as the muffler, is touched.
Though it might seem like the easiest option, never clean an engine with a pressure washer. Instead, use compressed air for clearing away grass, dirt and other light debris.
If the engine is especially greasy or dirty, spray it with a non-petroleum-based degreaser, then wipe clean with a cloth or soft brush. Warm water at a low pressure can be used to rinse the engine, just be sure to thoroughly dry the outside, and run the engine for a few minutes to help dry any parts that can’t be reached with a cloth.
