at the end of the season
or if the tractor
will
not be used for 30 days or
more.
_t_,WARNING:
Never store the tractor
with
gasoline
in the tank inside
a building
where
fumes
may reach
an open flame
or spark.
Allow
the engine
to cool
before
storing
in
any enclosure.

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
tractor
(See
"CLEANING"
in the
Maintenance
section
of
this
manual).

and replace
belts,
if necessary
(See belt replacement

BATTERY
Fully charge the battery for storage.
After a period of time in storage, battery
may require recharging.
• To
help
prevent
corrosion
and
power
leakage
during
long
periods
of storage,
battery
cables
should
be disconnected
and battery
cleaned
thoroughly
(see "TO
CLEAN
BATTERY
AND
TERMINALS"
in the Maintenance
section
of this man-
ual).
After cleaning,
leave cables disconnected
and place cables where
they cannot come
in contact
with battery
terminals.
If battery
is removed
from
tractor
for
storage,
do not store
battery
directly
on
concrete
or damp
surfaces.
ENGINE
FUEL
SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum
deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel
sys-
tem parts such as carburetor,
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.
Empty
the fuel tank by starting
the engine
and
letting
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.
