Fuel left in the fuel tank deteriorates and will cause serious
starting problems.
b. Use a fuel stabilizer for storage between 30 and 90 days:
• Read the product manufacturer's instructions and recommendations.
• Add to clean, fresh gasoline the correct amount of stabilizer for the
capacity of the fuel system.
• Fill the fuel tank with treated fuel and run the engine for 2-3 minutes to
get stabilized fuel into the carburetor.
c. Emptying the fuel system for storage of more than 90 days:
• Prior to putting the mower in storage, monitor fuel consumption with the
goal of running the fuel tank empty.
• Run the engine until it begins to stall. Use the choke to keep the engine
running until all fuel in the carburetor has been exhausted.
• Referring to the Engine Operator's Manual, drain the fuel from the
carburetor bowl.
3. Clean the engine and the entire mower thoroughly.
4. Fully charge the battery, then disconnect the negative cable at the battery to
prevent possible discharge. Recharge the battery periodically when in storage.
NOTE: Remove the battery if exposed to prolonged periods of sub-freezing
temperatures. Store in a cool, dry location where temperatures are
above freezing.
5. Lubricate all lubrication points.
NOTE: Using a pressure washer or garden hose is not recommended for cleaning
your mower. It may cause damage to electrical components, spindles, pulleys,
bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and
reduce serviceability.
Removing the Mower from Storage
1. Check the engine oil.
2. Fully charge the battery and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure.
3. Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh gasoline.
4. Start the engine and allow to idle for a few minutes to ensure engine is
operating properly.
5. Drive the mower without a load to make certain all the mower systems are
functioning properly.
ADJUSTMENTS
Shut the engine off, remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake
before making adjustments. Protect your hands by using heavy gloves when
handling the blades.
