STORAGE
LONG TERM
Lower mower unit to surface.
Clean unit thoroughly with mild soap and low-pressure water and
lubricate (see Maintenance). Touch up all scratched painted
surfaces.
Remove weight from tractor wheels by putting blocks under frame
or axle.
Clean and charge the battery. Charge battery every three to four
weeks when storing unit.
Fuel System
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended periods without a
stabilizer will deteriorate, resulting in gum deposits in the system.
These deposits can damage the carburetor and the fuel hoses,
filter and tank. Prevent deposits from forming in the fuel system
during storage by adding a quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel. Follow
the recommended mix ratio found on the fuel stabilizer container.
To treat the fuel system for storage:
• Add fuel stabilizer according to manufacturers's instructions.
• Run engine for at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow it to reach the carburetor.
NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel tank inside of a
building with potential sources of ignition.
