The tractor should be immediately prepared for storage
at the end of the season, or if the unit is to be unused for
30 days or more. Fuel, if permitted to stand unused for
extended periods (30 days or more), may develop
gummy deposits which can adversely affect the engine
carburettor and can cause engine malfunction.
STORAGE
Chart (page 16).
5. Remove the battery (See the Battery removal
paragraph, in Assembly section of this manual).
6. Clean the battery as described in the Battery
maintenance paragraph of the Maintenance
section of this manual. Add clean water to raise
level to indicator ring and fully charge the
battery. A discharged battery will freeze and may
burst. If possible, place the battery in a cool, dry
area. Charge the battery overnight every 30
days.
7. Store the tractor in a clean, dry area, and cover
it for additional protection.
A yearly check-up or a tune-up by an authorized service
dealer is a good way of insuring that your tractor will
provide maximum performance for the next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of gum deposits during
storage. Add stabilizer to the fuel in the fuel tank or
storage container. Always follow the mix ratio given by
the stabilizer manufacturer. Run the engine at least 10
minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to
reach the carburetter. Do not drain the gas tank and
carburetter if using stabilizer.
To prepare the tractor for storage, proceed as follows:
1. Clean the tractor thoroughly.
2. Inspect the tractor for worn or damaged parts
and tighten all loose screws and nuts.
3. Prepare engine for storage (See the engine
operating and maintenance manual).
4. Lubricate all points shown in the Lubrication
Never store engine with fuel in tank indoors or
poorly ventilated enclosures, where fuel fumes may
reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc...
Handle fuel carefully. It is highly flammable and
careless use could result in serious fire damage to
your person and property.
Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors away
from open flame.
