Off-Season Storage
Mower
The following steps should be taken to prepare your lawn mower
for storage.
•
Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in
Lubrication section on page 18.
•
Apply a coat of chassis grease to mower’s cutting blades to
prevent rusting.
•
Refer to Engine Operator’s Manual for correct engine
storage instructions.
•
Do not use a pressure washer to clean your unit.
•
Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
When storing any type of power equipment in a poorly
ventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to
rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the
equipment, especially cables and all moving parts of your lawn
mower before storage.
Battery (If Equipped)
•
The battery must be stored with a full charge. Extended
storage of a discharged battery will reduce life and capacity
of the battery. For optimal battery life, charge the battery
once per month while in storage.
•
Remove electric starter push key (if equipped) and keep in
a safe place out of the reach of children.
