Storage

To prepare the machine for off-season storage, perform the
recommended maintenance procedures; refer to

Store the machine in a cool, clean, dry place. Cover the
machine to keep it clean and protected.

Preparing the Fuel System

WARNING
Gasoline can vaporize if you store it over long
periods of time and explode if it comes into contact
with an open flame.
• Do not store gasoline over long periods of time.
• Do not store the machine with gasoline in the
fuel tank or the carburetor in an enclosure with
an open flame. (For example, a furnace or a
water heater pilot light.)
• Allow the engine to cool before storing it in any
enclosure.
Empty the gasoline from the fuel tank when mowing for the
last time before storing the machine.
1. Run the engine until it stops from running out of
gasoline.
2. Choke the engine and start it again.
3. Allow the engine to run until it stops. When you can
no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.

Preparing the Engine

1. While the engine is still warm, change the oil in the
crankcase; refer to
2. Remove the spark plug.
3. Using an oil can, add about 30 ml (1 oz) of engine oil
to the engine crankcase through the spark-plug hole.
4. Slowly rotate the engine several times by pulling the
recoil-start handle to distribute the oil throughout the
engine crankcase.
5. Install the spark plug but do not connect the wire to
the spark plug.
