Storage
To prepare the mower for off-season storage, perform
the recommended maintenance procedures. Refer to
Maintenance.
Store the mower in a cool, clean, dry place. Cover the
mower to keep it clean and protected.
Preparing the Fuel System
Gasoline can vaporize if you store it over long
periods of time and explode if it comes into
contact with an open flame.
• Do not store gasoline over long periods of
time.
• Do not store the mower with gasoline in the
fuel tank or the carburetor in an enclosure
with an open flame. (For example, a furnace
or a water heater pilot light.)
• Allow the engine to cool before storing it in
any enclosure.
Empty the fuel tank when mowing the last time before
storing the mower.
1. Run the mower until the engine stops from running
out of fuel.
