Winter storage

At the end of the mowing season the Rider should
be readied for storage, likewise 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
sticky residues that can clog the carburettor and
disrupt engine function.
Fuel stabilisers are an acceptable option as regards
avoiding sticky residues during storage. If alkylate
petrol is used, stabilisers are unnecessary because
this fuel is stable. However, you should avoid
switching between regular and alkylate petrol as
sensitive rubber components can harden. Add
stabiliser to the fuel in the tank or in the storage
container. Always use the mixing ratios specified by
the manufacturer of the stabiliser. Run the engine
for at least 10 minutes after adding the stabiliser so
that it reaches the carburettor. Do not empty the
fuel tank and the carburettor if you have added
stabiliser.
WARNING!
Never store an engine with fuel in
the tank indoors or in poorly
ventilated spaces where fuel
vapour can come in contact with
open flames, sparks or a pilot
light such as in a boiler, hot
water tank, clothing drier, etc.
Handle the fuel with caution. It is
very flammable and careless use
can cause serious damage to
person and property. Drain the
fuel into an approved container
outdoors and far away from open
flames. Never use petrol for
cleaning. Use a degreasing agent
and warm water instead.

STORAGE

To ready the Rider for storage, follow these steps:
1. Clean the Rider carefully, especially under the
mowing deck. Touch up damage to the paint to
prevent rust.
2. Inspect the Rider for worn or damaged parts and
tighten any nuts or bolts that may have become
loose.
3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4. Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it
run so that even the petrol in the carburettor is
emptied.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour about a
tablespoon of engine oil in the cylinder. Turn
over the engine so that the oil is evenly
distributed and then refit the spark plug.
6. Lubricate all grease nipples, joints and shafts.
7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge and store in
a cool place.
8. Store the Rider in a clean, dry place and cover it
for extra protection.

Cover

There is a cover to protect your machine during
storage or transport. Contact your dealer for a
demonstration.

Service

When ordering spare parts, please specify the
purchase year, model, type, and serial number of
the Rider.
Always use genuine spare parts.
An annual check-up or trimming at an authorised
service workshop is a good way to ensure that your
Rider performs at its best the following season.
