STORAGE

WARNING: AVOID INJURY.
Read and understand entire
Safety section before
proceeding.

SHORT-TERM STORAGE

IMPORTANT: NEVER wash unit with high
pressure water or store outdoors.
1. Allow unit to cool and clean with mild
soap and water.
2. Tighten all hardware to correct
specifications.
3. Inspect unit for visible signs of wear or
damage. Repair as needed.
4. Prepare fuel system for storage.
NOTICE: Gravely recommends using a
quality fuel stabilizer in all fuel. Gasoline left
in the fuel system without a stabilizer, even
for short periods of time, deteriorates and
leaves gummy deposits in the system that
may damage the carburetor and fuel hoses,
filter and tank. For the best effectiveness, add
stabilizer to all fuel containers whenever
purchasing fuel. Add the stabilizer to the
container before adding fuel.
a. Add Gravely fuel stabilizer (see
Service Parts on page 21) or
equivalent according to
manufacturer's instructions to the fuel
tank and any fuel containers with
remaining fuel.
b. Operate engine outdoors for at least
5 minutes to allow stabilizer to reach
the carburetor.
5. Close fuel valve and allow engine to stop
on its own.
6. Turn key to off position and remove from
ignition.
7. Store unit in a cool, dry, protected area.
DO NOT store unit outdoors.

LONG-TERM STORAGE

1. Perform short-term storage procedures.
2. Lubricate as directed in Maintenance
Schedule on page 20.
3. Touch-up all scratched painted surfaces.
4. Remove and charge battery as directed
in Charge Battery on page 25. Store
battery in a cool, dry, protected area.
5. Store unit in a cool, dry, protected area.
Do not store unit outdoors.
START-OF-SEASON
