LAWN MOWER
When lawn mower is to be stored for a
period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a
clean, dry area.
1. Clean
entire lawn mower
(See
"CLEANING"
in the Maintenance
section
of this manual).
2.
Lubricate
as shown
in the Mainte-
nance section
of this manual.
3.
Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws,
and pins are securely fastened.
Inspect moving
parts for damage,
breakage
and wear.
Replace
if
necessary.
4.
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint
surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

You can fold your lawn mower handle for
storage.

the bottom
ends of the lower
handle toward
each other until the
lower
handle
clears the handle
bracket,
then move handle forward.
2.
Loosen
upper handle
mounting
bolts
enough
to allow upper handle to be

FUELSYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent
gum deposits
from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.
Also, alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to
separation
and formation
of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2.
Start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation
of
fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or
storage container.
Always follow the mix
ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run
engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach
the carburetor.
Do not drain the gas tank
and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINEOIL
Drain oil (with engine
warm) and replace
with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE"
in
the Maintenance
section of this manual).
