OFF-SEASON STORAGE

WARNING

Never store lawn mower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated

areas where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark, or pilot light as on

a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, or gas appliance.

Preparing The Engine

For engines stored over 30 days:

• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on carburetor parts, run

engine until it stops from lack of fuel or add a gasoline additive to the gas

in the tank. If you use a gas additive, run the engine for several minutes to

circulate the additive through the carburetor.

• While engine is still warm, change the oil.

• Clean engine of surface debris.

Preparing The Lawn Mower

• Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in the lubrication

instructions.

• Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit.

• Coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis grease to prevent rusting.

WARNING

When handling the cutting blade, protect your hands with a pair of heavy

gloves or use a heavy rag to hold the blade.

• Refer to Preparing the Engine for correct engine storage instructions.

• Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to corrosive materials,

such as fertilizer.

When storing any type of power equipment in a poorly ventilated or metal storage

shed, care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone,

coat the equipment, especially cables and all moving parts of your lawn mower

before storage.
