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.
