WINTER STORAGE

To prepare your Yazoo/Kees mower for winter storage,
perform the routine maintenance and necessary
adjustments and record the part numbers of worn or
broken parts so they may be ordered and replaced
before the next mowing season. Use only authentic
Yazoo/Kees replacement parts to insure proper fit and
the saftey of your mower is maintained.
Treat the fuel in the tank with a fuel stablizer (such as
STA-BIL). This will minimize the formation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. Read and follow the mix ratio
on the container. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes
after adding the stablizer to bring it into the carburetor.
