TEMPORARY STORAGE (30 DAYS OR LESS)
Remember, the fuel tank will still contain some fuel, so
never store the unit indoors or in any other area where
fuel vapor could travel to any ignition source. Fuel vapor
is also toxic if inhaled, so never store the unit in any
structure used for human or animal habitation.
Here is a checklist of things to do when storing your unit
temporarily or in between uses:
• Keep the unit in an area away from where children
may come into contact with it. If there’s any chance of
unauthorized use, remove the ignition key.
• If the unit can’t be stored on a reasonably level sur-
face, chock the wheels.
• Clean all grass and dirt from the mower.
NOTE: If storing your tractor between winter snow
removal jobs in a cold area, we suggest that you fill the
fuel tank at the completion of each job to prevent water
condensation in the fuel tank. Wait for engine to cool
before filling tank.
LONG TERM STORAGE (LONGER THAN 30 DAYS)
Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the
Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety
Rules section and engine manual, then perform the
following steps:
1. Drain crankcase oil and refill with a grade of oil that
will be required when unit is used again.
2. Prepare the mower deck for storage as follows:
a. Remove mower deck from the unit.
b. Clean underside of mower deck.
c. Coat all bare metal surfaces with paint or light coat
of oil to prevent rusting.
3. Clean external surfaces and engine.
4. Prepare engine for storage. See engine owner’s
manual.
5. Clean any dirt or grass from cylinder head, engine
housing, and air cleaner element.
6. Cover air cleaner and exhaust outlet tightly with plas-
tic or other waterproof material to keep out moisture,
dirt, and insects.
7. Completely grease and oil unit as outlined in the
Normal Care section.
8. Clean up unit and apply paint or rust preventative to
any areas where paint is chipped or damaged.
9. Be sure the battery is filled to the proper level with
water and is fully charged. Battery life will be
increased if it is removed, put in a cool, dry place,
and fully charged about once a month. If battery is
left in unit, disconnect the negative cable.
10. Drain fuel system completely or add a fuel stabilizer
to the fuel system. If you have chosen to use a fuel
stabilizer and have not drained the fuel system, follow
all safety instructions and storage precautions in this
manual to prevent the possibility of fire from the igni-
tion of diesel fumes. Remember, fuel fumes can trav-
el to distant sources of ignition and ignite, causing
risk of explosion and fire.
11. Clean the radiator and screen.
NOTE: If fuel is permitted to stand unused for extended
periods (30 days or more), may develop gummy deposits
which can adversely affect the engine and cause engine
malfunction. To avoid this condition, add a fuel stabilizer
to the fuel tank and run the engine a few minutes, or
drain all fuel from the unit before placing it in storage.
STARTING AFTER LONG TERM STORAGE
Before starting the unit after it has been stored for a long
period of time, perform the following steps:
1. Remove any blocks from under the unit.
2. Install the battery if it was removed.
3. Uncover the exhaust outlet and air cleaner.
4. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. See engine manual
for recommendations.
5. See engine owner’s manual and follow all instructions
for preparing engine after storage.
6. Check crankcase oil level and add proper oil if
necessary. If any condensation has developed during
storage, drain crankcase oil and refill.
7. Inflate tires to proper pressure. Check fluid levels.
WARNING
Never store the unit, with fuel in the engine or fuel
tank, in a heated shelter or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated enclosures. Fumes may reach an open
flame, spark, or pilot light (such as a furnace,
water heater, clothes dryer, etc.) and cause an
explosion.
Handle fuel carefully. It is highly flammable and
careless use could result in serious fire damage
to your person or property.
Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors
away from open flame or sparks.
