STORAGE

Winter Storage

At the end of the mowing season, the machine should 

be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for 

longer 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 ratios 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 you have added stabilizer

To ready the machine for storage:

Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under 

1. 

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.
Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts 

2. 

and tighten any nuts or screws that may have 

become loose.
Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.

3. 

Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start 

4. 

the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor 

is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the 

carburetor.
Remove the spark plug and pour about a 

5. 

tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn 

over the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed 

and then refit the spark plug.

lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.

6. 

Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the 

7. 

battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct 

cold.
Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover 

8. 

it for extra protection.

Service

When ordering spare parts, please specify the 

purchase year, model, type, and serial number. 
Always use genuine dixon spare parts. 
An annual check-up at an authorized service workshop 

is a good way to ensure that your machine performs its 

best the following season.

WARNING!
Never store an engine with fuel 

in the tank indoors or in poorly 

ventilated spaces where fuel vapor 

can come in contact with open 

flames, sparks, or a pilot light such 

as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes 

dryer, etc. Handle the fuel with 

care. It is very flammable and can 

cause serious personal injury and 

property damage. Drain the fuel into 

an approved container outdoors and 

far away from open flame. Never 

use gasoline for cleaning. Use 

a degreaser and warm water instead.
