1.5.3 Allowing batteries to stand for an extended period of time without recharging
them will result in reduced performance and service life. To preserve optimum
battery performance and life, recharge batteries in storage when the open
circuit voltage drops to 12.4 volts.
Note: To prevent damage due to freezing, battery should be fully charged
before putting away for winter storage.
1.5.4 Keep engine, engine area, and pump drive belt compartment free from
accumulation of grass, leaves, excessive grease or oil, and other debris which

may result in a fire.
