Storage Procedure
WARNING
Amputation Hazard
• DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or
service with engine and blade running.
• STOP engine and blade.
• Remove battery (if equipped).
Burn Hazard
• Engine and components are HOT.
• Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for all
components to cool.
Laceration Hazard
• Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working
around cutting blades.
• Blades are extremely sharp and can cause severe
injury.
Prepare the mower for end-of-season storage as follows:
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure away from the
spark plug.
2. Drain the fuel tank and let the engine run until all fuel is
out of the carburetor.
Note: If using a fuel stabilizer, there is no need to drain the
fuel tank. See Storage - Fuel System.
3. Use a brush or compressed air to remove loose debris,
then use a damp cloth to wipe down the unit.
4. Tilt the mower up on its rear wheels and inspect the
underside of the deck. (Do not tilt the mower with the
spark plug or carburetor down.) Scrape away stubborn
accumulation of grass with a putty knife and/or wire
brush.
5. Lubricate all exposed metal with a light coating of oil to
prevent corrosion.
6. Carefully fold the handles, flexing the control cables to
prevent cable damage.
7. Store the mower in a shed or other dry area, protected
from weather.
NOTICE Do not stand unit on end.
Storage - Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when kept in a storage container
for more than 30 days. Each time you fill the container
with fuel, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel as specified by the
manufacturer's instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and
decreases fuel-related problems or contamination in the fuel
system.
It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when fuel
stabilizer is added as instructed. Before storage, turn the
engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel and stabilizer
through the fuel system.
