Check Tire Pressure

Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too much air
pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air
pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The
correct air pressure is: Front Tires 0,97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear
Tires 0,69 BAR (10 PSI).

Storage

WARNING: Never store the unit (with fuel)
in an enclosed, ventilated structure. Fuel
vapors can travel to an ignition source
(such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and
cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic
to humans and animals.
When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters
or appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Equipment
Battery life will be increased if it is removed. Put in a cool, dry
place and fully charged about once a month. If the battery is
left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs
®
& Stratton FUEL FIT fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid
additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a
fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the
engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the
fuel system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to
24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container.
Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a
fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to
maintain freshness.
Engine Oil
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See the
Engine Manual.
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
• Perform all recommended checks and procedures
found in this manual.
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before
use.
