Preparing the Mower for
Storage
WARNING
Gasoline vapors can explode.
• Do not store gasoline more than 30 days.
• Do not store the mower in an enclosure near an
open flame.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing it.
1. On the last refueling of the year, add fuel stabilizer
to the fuel as directed by the engine manufacturer.
2. Run the mower until the engine stops from running
out of fuel.
3. Allow the engine to run until it stops. When you can
no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.
4. Remove the wire from the spark plug and connect
the wire onto the retaining post.
5. Remove the spark plug, add 1 oz. (30 ml) of oil
through the spark plug hole, and pull the starter rope
slowly several times to distribute oil throughout the
cylinder to prevent cylinder corrosion during the
off season.
6. Install the spark plug and tighten it with a torque
wrench to 15 ft-lb (20 N-m).
7. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.

the handle knobs as you fold the upper handle.
