Immediately
prepare
your lawn mower for
storage
at the end of the season
or if the
unit will not be used for 30 days or more.
LAWN
MOWER
When lawn mower is to be stored for a pe-
riod of time, clean it thoroughly,
remove all
dirt, grease,
leaves, etc.
Store in a clean,
dry area.
1. Clean entire lawn mower (See
"CLEANING"
in the Maintenance
sec-
tion of this manual).
2.
Lubricate
as shown in the Maintenance
section
of this manual.
3.
Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws,
and
pins are securely
fastened.
Inspect
moving parts for damage,
breakage
and wear.
Replace
if necessary.
4.
Touch up all rusted or chipped
paint
surfaces;
sand lightly before painting.
HANDLE
You can fold your lawn mower handle for
storage.
NOTE: The upper handle has an "anti-
fold" bracket
located on the left side of the
handle.
This bracket prevents
the upper
handle from folding forward,
which helps
protect control cable(s) from damage.
1. Squeeze
the bottom ends of the lower
handle toward each other until the
lower handle clears the handle bracket,
then move handle forward.
2.
Loosen
upper handle mounting
bolts
enough
to allow upper handle to be
folded back.
IMPORTANT"
When folding the handle for
storage or transportation,
be sure to fold
the handle as shown or you may damage
the control cables.
• When setting up your handle from the
storage
position,
the lower handle will
automatically
lock into the mowing
posi-
tion.

ENGINE
FUELSYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel system
parts such as carburetor,
fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.
Also, alcohol blended
fuels (called
gasohol
or using ethanol
or methanol)
can
attract moisture
which leads to separation
and formation
of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system
of
an engine while in storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor
are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel tank or permanent
damage
may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer
is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing
the formation
of
fuel gum deposits
during
storage.
Add
stabilizer
to gasoline
in fuel tank or stor-
age container.
Always
follow the mix ratio
found on stabilizer
container.
Run engine
at least 10 minutes
after adding stabi-
lizer to allow the stabilizer
to reach the
carburetor.
Do not drain the gas tank and
carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE
OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE"
in
the Maintenance
section of this manual).
