Winter Storage

At the end of the mowing season, the machine should
be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for a
long period).
There is less of a risk of corrosion damage if the
machine is cleaned and stored in a dry environment.
Diesel is stable and can be stored until next season.
Fill the fuel tank up to prevent condensation. If the
machine is to be used during the winter, for snow
clearing for example, the tank should be filled with
winter fuel.
Ensure that any leaking fuel or oil cannot run into floor
drains.
Ensure that the cooling system has sufficient
antifreeze. If the cooling system is drained, you must
ensure that both the engine block and radiator do not
contain water when there is a risk of freezing.
