Storage

Store the machine in a cool, clean, dry place.
Preparing the Machine for
Storage
1. On the last refueling of the year, add fuel stabilizer
(such as Toro Premium Fuel Treatment) to the fuel.
2. Dispose of any unused fuel properly. Recycle it
according to local codes, or use it in your automobile.
Note: Old fuel in the fuel tank is the leading cause of
hard starting. Do not store fuel without stabilizer more
than 30 days, and do not store stabilized fuel more than
90 days.
3. Run the machine until the engine shuts off from
running out of fuel.
4. Start the engine again.
5. Allow the engine to run until it shuts off. When you
can no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.
6. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
7. Remove the spark plug, add 30 ml of engine oil through
the spark-plug hole, and pull the starter rope slowly
several times to distribute oil throughout the cylinder
to prevent cylinder corrosion during the off-season.
8. Loosely install the spark plug.
9. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.
