Storage

8. Storage
At the end of the season or when the machine is not going to
be used for an extended period of time, completely examine all
of the major systems. Replace or repair any worn or damaged
components to prevent unnecessary down time at the beginning
of the next season. Touch up scratches or dents.
For more information, see Figure 51 on page 57.
8.1

Storage Safety

WARNING!
Do not permit children to play on or around
stored machinery or equipment. Sharp edges,
unexpected movement, trips, falls, and other
hazards can cause serious injury or death.
IMPORTANT! A pressure washer can damage the
machine's product identification plate and make it
unreadable. Do not direct the spray from a pressure washer
onto the product identification plate. Use a clean, soft cloth
that is dampened with water to remove dirt.
• Store the machine in a dry, level location away from human
activity.
• Store the machine indoors, where possible.
• Support the main frame with blocks, if necessary.

Place the Machine in Storage

For more information about engine storage, see the engine
manufacturer's manual.
1. Remove all material from the machine. Make sure that you
remove all entangled material and debris.
2. Clean the machine.
For instructions, see Clean the Machine on page 72.
3. Grease the machine. Fill all the grease locations to remove
any remaining water.
For more information, see Grease Points on page 61.
4. If the hydraulic winch accessory is installed, check the
condition of the winch rope. Replace or adjust the winch
rope, as necessary.
5. Check the hydraulic components for damage and leaks.
Tighten or replace fittings that leak. Replace components
that are damaged.
6. Set the machine to the transport position.
For instructions, see Prepare the Machine for Transport on
page 50.
7. Do one of the following:
- If the machine will be in storage for one to three
months, add stabilizer to the engine fuel and drain the
carburetor.
- If the machine will be in storage for longer than three
months, replace the engine fuel with an alkylate or
appropriate engineered fuel. These fuel types prevent
the buildup of insoluble solids (deposits) in the engine.
For more information, see Engine Fuel on page 59.
For instructions, see Replace the Engine Fuel on page
57.
8. Park the machine in the storage location.
9. Disconnect the tow vehicle.
For instructions, see Disconnect from a Ball-Mount Hitch
on page 52.
10. Adjust the trailer jack until the machine is level. If soft
W105
ground is unavoidable, place boards or plates under the
trailer jack and support stands to increase the surface area.
For more information, see Trailer Jack on page 53.
11. Block the machine wheels to prevent accidental movement
and increase the wheel bearing life.
12. Measure the tire pressure. If necessary, adjust the air
pressure.
For the correct pressure, see the tire sidewall.
13. If indoor storage is not possible, cover the machine with
a waterproof tarp. It is recommended that the machine be
stored indoors.
