Winter Storage
At the end of the mowing season, or if it will not be
in use for more than 30 days, the machine should be
readied for storage. 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:
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.
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 store
far away from open flame. Never use
gasoline for cleaning. Use a degreaser
and warm water instead.
