If engine is to be unused for 30 days or
more, add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel
system. Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
additive in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to fuel in fuel tank or storage
container. Always follow mix ratio found
on stabilizer container. Run engine at least
10 minutes after adding stabilizer.
�
Remove all accumulated debris from
mower deck and tractor.
�
Sand areas where paint is chipped and
repaint to prevent rust. Lubricate all
locations to prevent moisture damage
during storage.
