STORAGE
CAUTION:
Never place any type of storage cover or tarp on the MOWER while it is still hot.
If the MOWER is being stored for short periods of time (30 to 60 days), add stabilized fuel to the gas tank
until it is full. Run the engine for 2 – 3 minutes allowing stabilized fuel mixture to circulate through the
carburetor.
NOTE:
Keeping the fuel tank full, reduces the amount of air and vapor and helps reduce deterioration of
the fuel. This will also help minimize moisture accumulation common with ethanol blended fuels.
When storing the mower for extended periods of time:
1.
Start the engine and run it until the tank and fuel line are completely empty and the engine stalls.
2.
Change the oil after each season.
3.
Remove the spark plug. Use an oil-can to fill the cylinder with approx. 2 ml of oil. Slowly pull back
the starter handle, which will bathe the cylinder wall with oil. Screw the spark plug back in.
4.
Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.
5.
Be sure to clean the entire equipment to protect the paint.
6.
Store the equipment in a well-ventilated place.
