Storage
WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, non-
ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition
source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an
explosion.
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or
other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Equipment
Turn OFF the Power Take-Off (PTO), and set the parking
brake. Remove the starter insert. Let the machine cool.
If you remove the battery, the battery life will increase. Make
sure that the battery is in a cool, and dry location, and keep
it fully charged. If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect the
negative cable.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment &
Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine
service parts are sold.
Before starting the machine after it has been stored:
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
• Do all recommended checks and procedures found in this
manual.
• Make sure the engine is warm before you use it.
