surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
BATTERY
• Fully charge the battery for storage.
• After a period of time in storage, battery
may require recharging.
• To help prevent
corrosion
and power
leakage during long periods of storage,
battery cables should
be disconnected
and battery cleaned thoroughly
(see "TO
CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS"
in
the Maintenance
section of this manual).
• After cleaning, leave cables disconnected
and place
cables
where
they
cannot
come in contact

ENGINE
FUEL
SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum
deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel
sys-
tem parts such as carburetor,
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.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting
the engine
and letting
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
al-
ternative
in minimizing
the formation
of fuel
gum deposits
during
storage.
Add stabilizer
to gasoline
in fuel tank or storage
container.
Always
follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container.
Run engine
at least
10 minutes
after adding stabilizer
to allow the stabilizer
to
reach the carburetor.
Do not empty
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).
CYLINDER(S)
1. Remove spark plug(s).
2.
Pour one ounce of oil through spark
plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).
3. Turn ignition key to start position for a
few seconds to distribute oil.
4.
Replace with new spark plug(s).
OTHER
• Do not store
gasoline
from one season
to another.
•
Replace your gasoline
can if your can starts
to rust.
Rust and/or
dirt in your gasoline

problems.
• If possible,
store your tractor
indoors
and

from dustand
dirt.
• Cover
your tractor
with a suitable
protec-
tive cover
that does
not
retain
moisture.
Do not use plastic.
Plastic
cannot
breathe
which allows condensation
to form and will
cause
your tractor
to rust.
