Preparing the Mower for
Storage
Gasoline vapors can explode.
• Do not store gasoline more than 30 days.
• Do not store the mower in an enclosure near
an open flame.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing it.
1. On the last refueling of the year, add fuel stabilizer
to the fuel as directed by the engine manufacturer.
2. Run the mower until the engine stops from running
out of fuel.
3. Prime the engine and start it again.
4. Allow the engine to run until it stops. When you can
no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.
5. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug and connect
the wire onto the retaining post.
6. Remove the spark plug, add 1 oz. (30 ml) of 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.
7. Loosely install the spark plug.
8. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.

Folding the Handle

1. Loosen the lower handle knobs (Figure 43).

Removing the Mower from
Storage
1. Remove the spark plug and spin the engine rapidly
using the starter to blow the excess oil from the
cylinder.
2. Install the spark plug and tighten it with a torque
wrench to 15 ft-lb (20 N-m).
3. Connect the wire to the spark plug.
