PREPARATION FOR SEASONAL STORAGE
Traction Unit
1.
Thoroughly clean the traction unit, cutting unit
and the engine, paying special attention to
these areas:
— radiator screen
— underneath the cutting unit
— under the cutting unit belt covers
— counterbalance springs
— P.T.O Shaft Assembly
— all grease fittings and pivot points
2.
Check the tire pressure. Inflate all traction unit tires
to 21 psi (145 kPa).
3.
Remove, sharpen, and balance the cutting unit’s
blades. Reinstall the blades and torque the blade
fasteners to specifications.
4.
Check all fasteners for looseness; tighten as
necessary.
5.
Grease or oil all grease fittings and pivot points.
Wipe up any excess lubricant.
6.
Ensure that the P.T.O. belt remains in the
disengaged
position so that the P.T.O. belt does not take
a “set.”
7.
Lightly sand and use touch–up paint on painted
areas that are scratched, chipped, or rusted. Repair any
dents in the metal body.
8.
Service the battery and cables as follows:
a. Remove the battery terminals from the battery
posts.
b. Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a
wire brush and baking soda solution.
c. Coat the cable terminals and battery posts with
Grafo 112X skin–over grease (Toro Part No.
505-47) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
d. Slowly recharge the battery every 60 days for
24 hours to prevent lead sulfation of the battery.
Engine
1.
Drain the engine oil from the oil pan and replace the
drain plug.
2.
Remove and discard the oil filter. Install a new oil
filter.
3.
Refill the engine with recommended motor oil. Refer
to changing crankcase oil.
4.
Start the engine and run at idle speed for
approximately two minutes. DO NOT RUN LONGER
THAN TWO MINUTES.
5.
Stop the engine; remove all spark plugs.
6.
Pour one ounce (28cc) of clean engine oil in each
spark plug hole.
7.
With the coil connector removed, crank the engine
with the starter for at least 12 revolutions to distribute
the oil in the cylinders.
8.
Reinstall the spark plugs. Reconnect the coil
connector.
9.
Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank, fuel lines, and
the carburetor bowl. Reinstall all lines and secure all
connections.
10. Thoroughly clean and service the air cleaner
assembly.
11 Seal the air cleaner inlet, the exhaust outlet and the
crankcase breather with weatherproof tape.
12. Check the oil filter cap, gas cap and radiator cap to
ensure they are all securely in place.
