3.4 STORAGE
PROCEDURE
Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for directions
regarding engine storage preparations. Prepare the
mower for “end of season” storage as follows:
1. Drain fuel from fuel tank and let engine run until
all fuel is out of the carburetor.
2. Disconnect and remove the spark plug wire
away from spark plug before any other
preparations are made!
3. Tape all openings closed to prevent spraying
water into exhaust or air intakes during washing.
4. Tilt mower up on its rear wheels and thoroughly
clean the underside of the deck. Do not tilt mower
with spark plug or carburetor down. Scrape away
any accumulation of grass with a putty knife and or
wire brush.
5. Lubricate all exposed metal with a light coating
of oil to prevent corrosion.
6. On self-propelled models disconnect transfer rod
clip and remove ground speed control rod before
folding handles.
7. Loosen handle knobs. Carefully fold the handles
forward, “flexing” the control cables to prevent cable
damage.
8. Store the mower in a shed or other dry area,
protected from weather.
