CAUTION: AVOID INJURY. Read
and understand the entire Safety
section before proceeding.
IMPORTANT: NEVER spray unit with high-
pressure water or store unit outdoors. Store
mower in a cool, dry, protected location.
Cleaning
Allow unit to cool. Clean unit thoroughly with
mild soap and low pressure water. Brush off
dirt and debris from all surfaces. Touch up all
scratched surfaces to prevent rust. Matching
touch-up paint is available from your Gravely
Dealer. Do not use abrasives, solvents, or
harsh cleaners.
Inspection
Inspect mower and repair or replace worn or
damaged parts to avoid delays when
beginning use again.
Regularly check all hardware and keep
fasteners tight. Know unit is in safe working
condition.
STORAGE
Engine
When storing unit for extended periods of
time, remove all fuel from tank and carburetor
(run dry). Refer to Engine Manual.
Fuel System
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,
resulting in deposits in the system. These
deposits can damage the carburetor and the
fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent deposits
from forming in the fuel system during
storage by adding a quality fuel stabilizer to
the fuel. Follow the recommended mix ratio
found on the fuel stabilizer container.
To treat the fuel system for storage:
1. Add fuel stabilizer according to
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes after
adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the
carburetor.
NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel
tank inside of a building with potential
sources of ignition.
