STORAGE
WARNING:
Avoid Injury
Read and understand the
Safety
section before proceeding.
SHORT-TERM STORAGE
IMPORTANT:
NEVER wash unit with high-pressure
water or store outdoors.
1. Allow unit to cool and clean with mild soap
and water.
2. Tighten all hardware to correct
specifications.
3. Inspect unit for visible signs of wear or
damage. Repair as needed.
4. Prepare fuel system for storage.
NOTICE:
RC Mowers recommends using a
quality fuel stabilizer in all fuel. Gasoline left in
the fuel system without a stabilizer, even for
short periods of time, deteriorates and leaves
gummy deposits in the system that may cause
damage. For the best effectiveness, add
stabilizer to all fuel containers whenever
purchasing fuel. Add the stabilizer to the
container before adding fuel.
5. Add fuel stabilizer according to
manufacturer's instructions to the fuel tank
and any fuel containers with remaining fuel.
6. Operate engine outdoors for at least
5 minutes to allow stabilizer to reach the
carburetor.
7. Close fuel valve and allow engine to stop on
its own from lack of fuel.
8. Turn key to off position and remove from
ignition.
9. Store unit in a cool, dry, protected area.
DO NOT store unit outdoors.

START-OF-SEASON PREPARATION
