Storage Procedure
Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for directions regarding
engine storage preparations. Prepare the mower for “end of
season” storage as follows:
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure away from
the spark plug.
2. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank and let the engine run
until all fuel is out of the carburetor.
3. Use a brush or compressed air to remove loose debris,
then use a damp cloth to wipe down the unit.
4. Tilt the mower up on its rear wheels and thoroughly
clean the underside of the deck. Do not tilt the mower
with the spark plug or carburetor down. Scrape away
any accumulation of grass with a putty knife and/or
wire brush.
5. Lubricate all exposed metal with a light coating of oil to
prevent corrosion.
6. Carefully fold the handles, flexing the control cables to
prevent cable damage.
7. Store the mower in a shed or other dry area, protected
from weather.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or service
with engine and blade running. STOP engine and blade.
Disconnect spark plug wire and secure away from spark
plug. Engine and components are HOT. Avoid serious
burns, allow sufficient time for all components to cool.
Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working
around cutting blades. Blades are extremely sharp and can
cause severe injury.
