SECTION 9: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
Prepare your lawn mower for storage at the end of the
season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or
more. Store the mower in a clean, dry area.
Mower
•
Clean underside of the mower according to
instructions on page 12.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers or garden hose to clean your unit. They may
cause damage to pulleys, bearings, or the engine. The
use of water will result in shortened life and reduce
serviceability.
•
Lubricate the mower as instructed on page 13.
•
You can fold your mower's handle for convenience
of storage by following directions below:
Remove the starter rope from the rope
guide; loosen two hand knobs on two
sides of the handle, and let the upper
handle fold down to the rear. Move the
hairpin clips to the outer hole in the
weld pins on the handle mounting
brackets. Spread the sides of the lower
handle, and push it forward and down.
•
Inspect and replace/sharpen blade, if required.
Refer to page 13.
