Storage - Snapper Coronet RE 200 Series Operator's Manual

STORAGE

WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed,
poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can
travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace,
water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion.
Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.
Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the
"Maintenance and Storage" instructions in the SAFETY
RULES AND INFORMATION section, then perform the
following steps:
• Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, & remove
the key.
• Perform engine maintenance and storage measures
listed in the Engine Manual. This includes draining
the fuel system, or adding stabilizer to the fuel (do not
store a fueled unit in an enclosed structure - see
WARNING).
• Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a
cool, dry place and fully charged about once a month.
If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect the nega-
tive cable.
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
• Perform all recommended checks and procedures
found in the Engine Manual.
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes
before use.
