STORAGE
WINTER STORAGE
The machine should be readied for storage at
the end of the mowing season, or if it will not be
in use for more than 30 days.
Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time
(30 days or more) can leave sticky residues that
can plug the carburetor and disrupt engine
function.
Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as
regards to the sticky residues that can occur
during storage.
Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the
storage container. Always use the mixing
rations specified by the manufacturer of the
stabilizer. Run the engine for at least 10
minutes after adding the stabilizer so that it
reaches the carburetor. Do not empty the fuel
tank and the carburetor if a stabilizer has been
added.
To ready the machine for storage, follow these
steps:
1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially
under the mower deck. Touch up damage
to the paint and spray a thin layer of oil on
the underside of the mower deck to avoid
corrosion.
2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged
parts and tighten any nuts or screws that
may have become loose.
3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4. Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer.
Start the engine and allow it to run until the
carburetor is drained of fuel or the stabilizer
has reached the carburetor.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour about a
tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder.
Turn over the engine so that the oil is evenly
distributed and then refit the spark plug.
6. Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.
7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and
store the battery in a cool place, but protect
it from direct cold.
8. Store the machine in a clean, dry place and
cover it for extra protection.
