POSITIVE (Red) wire).
• Detach the battery hold-down rod and re-
move both the battery and battery tray
from the tractor.
• Locate the transmission pulley though the
battery tray opening. See Figure 27.
• Using an impact gun with a 13/16-inch
socket, remove the pulley from the trans-
mission’s input shaft by removing the
flange nut which secures it.
• Carefully lift the pulley off of the transmis-
sion’s input shaft and remove the upper

IMPORTANT: When remounting the engine
pulley, torque the hex bolt to between 38
foot-pounds and 50 foot-pounds.
IMPORTANT: When remounting the trans-
mission pulley, torque the flange nut to
between 25 foot-pounds and 33

OFF-SEASON STORAGE
WARNING: Never store the machine
or fuel container indoors where
there is an open flame, spark or
pilot light such as on water heater,
furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliance.
WARNING: Use a fuel stabilizer
additive or drain the fuel into an
approved container outdoors, away
from an open flame. Allow engine to
cool. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars,
pipes, and other sources of ignition
prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in
engine without a stabilizer additive
for extended periods deteriorates
and will cause problems.
If the machine is to be inoperative for a pe-
riod longer than 30 days, prepare for storage
as follows.
• Clean the engine and the entire unit thor-
oughly.
• We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers or garden hose to clean your unit.
They may cause damage to electric com-
ponents, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the
engine. The use of water will result in
shortened life and reduce serviceability.
• Lubricate all lubrication points. Wipe the
entire machine with an oiled rag to protect
the surfaces.
• Refer to the engine manual for correct en-
gine storage instructions. The engine must
be completely drained of fuel to prevent
gum deposits from forming on essential
carburetor parts, fuel lines and fuel tanks.
Charge battery fully. The battery loses
some of its charge each day when the unit is
not used.
NEVER store battery without a full charge.
Recharge battery before returning to service
or every two months, whichever occurs first.
• When storing unit for extended periods,
disconnect battery cables. Removing bat-
tery from unit is recommended.
• Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not
store next to corrosive materials, such as
fertilizer.
NOTE: When storing any type of power
equipment in an unventilated or metal stor-
age shed, care should be taken to rustproof
the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone,
coat the equipment, especially any chains
springs, bearings and cables.
