STORAGE

Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the
Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety
Rules section, and then perform the following steps:

• Disengage the PTO and remove the key.

• Perform engine maintenance and storage measures

listed in the engine owner's manual. This includes
draining the fuel system, or adding stabilizer to the
fuel (do not store a fueled unit in an enclosed struc-
ture - see above).

WARNING

Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed,
poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can
travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace,
water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion. Fuel
vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.

• Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a

cool, dry place and fully charged about once a month.
If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect the nega-
tive cable.

Before starting the unit after it has been stored:

• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.

• Perform all recommended engine checks and proce-

dures found in the engine owner's manual.

• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes

before using mower.
