Storage

Winter Storage

At the end of the mowing season, the machine
should be readied for storage (or if it will not be in
use for longer than 30 days). Fuel allowed to stand
for long periods of time (30 days or more) can leave
WARNING!
Never store an engine with fuel
in the tanks indoors or in poorly
ventilated spaces where fuel va-
por cancome in contact with open
flames, sparks, or a pilot light
such as in a boiler, hot water tank,
clothes drier, etc.
Handle the fuel with care. It is very
flammable and careless use can
cause serious personal injury and
property damage.
Drain the fuel into an approved
container outdoors and far away
from open flame.
Never use fuel for cleaning. Use
a degrease and warm water in-
stead.
STORAGE
To ready the machine for storage, follow these
steps:
1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially
under the mower deck. Touch up damage to
the paint and spray a thin layer of oil on the
underside of the mower deck in order to avoid
corrosion.
2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged
parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may
have become loose.
3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4. Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer.
Start the engine and allow it to run until the
stabilizer has reached the injectors.
5. Remove glow plugs and pour about a
tablespoon of engine oil into each cylinder. Turn
over the engine so that the oil is evenly
distributed. Replace glow plugs.
6. Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.
7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store
the battery in a cool place, but protect it from
direct cold.
8. Store the machine in a clean, dry place and
cover it for extra protection.
