Preparing Machine for Storage

1. Repair any worn or damaged parts. Replace parts if necessary.

Tighten loose hardware.

2. Repair scratched or chipped metal surfaces to prevent rust.

3. Remove grass and debris from machine.

4. Clean under the deck and remove grass and debris from inside chute

and bagger.

5. Wash the machine and apply wax to metal and plastic surfaces.

6. Run machine for ve minutes to dry belts and pulleys.

7. Apply light coat of engine oil to pivot and wear points to prevent rust.

8. Lubricate grease points and check tire pressure.

Preparing Fuel and Engine For Storage

Fuel:

If you have been using “Stabilized Fuel,” add stabilized fuel to tank until

the tank is full.

NOTE: Filling the fuel tank reduces the amount of air in the fuel tank and

helps reduce deterioration of fuel.

If you are not using “Stabilized Fuel:”

1. Park machine safely in a well-ventilated area. (See Parking Safely in

the SAFETY section.)

NOTE: Try to anticipate the last time the machine will be used for the

season so very little fuel is left in the fuel tank.

2. Turn on engine and allow to run until it runs out of fuel.

3. For machines equipped with key switch, turn key to off position.

IMPORTANT: Stale fuel can produce varnish and plug carburetor or

injector components and affect engine performance.

ttaannkk..

4. Mix fresh fuel and fuel stabilizer in separate container. Follow

stabilizer instructions for mixing.

5. Fill fuel tank with stabilized fuel.

6. Run engine for a few minutes to allow fuel mixture to circulate

through carburetor on gas engine or fuel injectors on diesel engine.

Engine:

Engine storage procedure should be used when vehicle is not to be used

for longer than 60 days.

1. Change engine oil and lter while engine is warm.

2. Service air lter if necessary.

3. Clean debris from engine air intake screen.

4. On gas engines:

a. Remove spark plugs. Put specied amount of clean engine oil in

cylinder(s).

Specication

Engine Oil in Cylinder - Storage — Quantity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .30 mL (1 oz)

b. Install spark plugs, but do not connect spark plug wires.

c. Crank the engine ve or six times to allow oil to be distributed.

5. Clean the engine and engine compartment.

6. Remove battery.

7. Clean the battery and battery posts. Check the electrolyte level, if

your battery is not maintenance free.

8. Close fuel shut-off valve, if your machine is equipped.

9. Store the battery in a cool, dry place where it will not freeze.

NOTE: The stored battery should be recharged every 90 days.

10. Charge the battery.

IMPORTANT: Prolonged exposure to sunlight could damage the

hood surface. Store machine inside or use a cover if stored

outside.
