Storage Safety
•
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all movement to stop before you leave the
operator’s position. Allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
Storing the Machine
1.
Position the machine on a level surface, shift
the transmission lever to the P (P
ARK
) position,
shut off the engine, and remove the key from
the key switch.
2.
Clean dirt and grime from the entire machine,
including the engine area
Important:
You can wash the machine
with mild detergent and water. Do not
use high-pressure water to wash the
machine. Pressure washing the machine
may damage the electrical system or wash
away necessary grease at friction points.
Avoid excessive use of water, especially near
the control panel, lights, engine, and battery.
3.
Service the air cleaner; refer to
.
4.
Grease the machine; refer to
.
5.
Change the engine oil and filter; refer to
Changing the Engine Oil and Filter (page 80)
.
6.
Check the tire pressure; refer to
Tire Pressure (page 58)
.
7.
For long-term storage (3 months or more),
prepare the fuel system as follows:
A.
Add a petroleum based
stabilizer/conditioner to the fuel in the
tank. Do not use an alcohol-based stabilizer
(ethanol or methanol).
Important:
Do not store fuel containing
stabilizer/conditioner longer than the
duration recommended by the fuel
stabilizer manufacturer.
B.
Run the engine to distribute conditioned fuel
through the fuel system for 5 minutes.
C.
Shut off the engine, allow it to cool, and
drain the fuel tank.
D.
Start the engine and run it until it stops.
E.
Start and run the engine again until it does
not start again.
F.
Dispose of drained fuel properly. Recycle
as per local codes.
8.
Check the anti freeze protection and add a 50/50
solution of water and anti freeze as needed for
expected minimum temperature in your area.
9.
Remove the battery from the chassis, and
charge it fully; refer to
(page 85)
.
Note:
Do not connect the battery cables to the
battery posts during storage.
Important:
The battery must be fully
charged to prevent it from freezing and being
damaged at temperatures below 0°C (32°F).
A fully charged battery maintains its charge
for about 50 days at temperatures lower
than 4°C (40°F). If the temperatures will be
above 4°C (40°F), check the water level in the
battery and charge it every 30 days.
10.
Check and tighten all fasteners. Repair or
replace any part that is damaged.
11.
Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces
with paint available from your authorized Toro
distributor.
12.
Store the machine in a clean, dry garage or
storage area.
13.
Remove the key from the key switch and put it in
a safe place that is out of the reach of children.
14.
Cover the machine to protect it and keep it clean.
