any enclosure.
TRACTOR
When
tractor
is to be stored
for a period
of time,
clean
it thoroughly,
remove
all dirt,
grease,
leaves,
etc.
Store
in a clean,
dry
area.
1.
Clean
entire
tractor
(See "CLEANING"
in the
Maintenance
section
of
this
manual).
2.
Inspect
and replace
belts,
if necessary
(See belt replacement
instructions
in the
Service
and Adjustments
section
of this
manual).
3.
Lubricate
as shown
in the Maintenance
section
of this manual.
4.
Be sure
that all nuts,
bolts and screws

moving
parts
for damage,
breakage
and wear.
Replace
if necessary.
5.
Touch
up all rusted
or chipped
paint
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 man-
ual).
• Aftercleaning,
leavecablesdisconnected
and place cables where they can not come
in contact with battery terminals.
• If battery
is removed
from
tractor
for
storage,
do not store battery directly on
concrete or damp surfaces.
ENGINE
FUELSYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to
prevent
gum deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel
system
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 oilthrough
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 will cause problems.
• If possible, store your tractor indoors and
cover itto give protection from dust and 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.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover tractor while
engine
and exhaust areas are still warm.
