Storage

WARNING: Never store the unit with
fuel in an enclosed, non-ventilated structure. Fuel vapors
can travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water
heater, etc.) and cause an explosion.
Store it away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or other
appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition sources
because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Mower
Disengage the Power Take-Off (PTO), set the parking brake,
remove the key, and let the machine cool.
If you remove the battery, the battery life will increase.
Make sure that the battery is in a cool, dry location, and
keep it fully charged. If the battery is left in the unit,
disconnect the negative cable.

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 STA-BIL 360 Protection 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
STA-BIL 360 Protection is added as instructed. Before
storage, turn the engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel
and stabilizer through the fuel system.
Before starting the machine after it has been stored:
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
• Do all recommended checks and procedures found in this
manual.
• Fully charge the battery.
• Drive the mower without a load to make certain all the
mower systems are functioning properly.
