Help in case of malfunction
ked flames or sparks. Only park the lawn tractor
in rooms that are suitable for the storage of motor
vehicles.
When storing the lawn tractor for long periods,
such as over winter, it should not have its fuel
tank filled if possible. The fuel can evaporate.
Before long-term storage, the fuel should be
drained from the tank and the carburettor in order
to avoid any build-up of deposits, which could re-
sult in problems when starting. Please contact
your specialist workshop for advice.
