Towed Equipment

1. Before you tow the unit, make sure that the hitch is
designed for towing.

that the weight limit recommendations are correct.
• Gross weight (trailer and load) of 400 lb (181.4 kg).
• Maximum of 20 lb (9.1 kg) foot up or down on the
tongue.
• Go from a 10° limit to a 5° limit on slopes.
4. DO NOT let children or others in or on towed equipment.
5. The weight of the towed equipment on slopes can cause
loss of traction and loss of control.

Clean the Mower Deck (if equipped)

Note: Use the washout port (C, Figure 18) to clean the bottom
of the mower deck.
1. Put the rider on a smooth level surface.
2. Attach the quick disconnect (A, Figure 18) to the garden
hose (B) and then connect to the washout port (C) on the
mower deck.
3. Turn the water ON.

Storage

WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, non-
ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition
source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an
explosion.
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or
other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Equipment
Turn OFF the Power Take-Off (PTO), and set the parking
brake. Remove the starter insert. Let the machine cool.
If you remove the battery, the battery life will increase. Make
sure that the battery is in a cool, and dry location, and keep
it fully charged. If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect the
negative cable.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when kept in a storage container
for more than 30 days. Each time you fill the container
with fuel, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel as specified by the
manufacturer's instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and
decreases fuel-related problems or contamination in the fuel
system.
It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when fuel
stabilizer is added as instructed. Before storage, turn the
engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel and stabilizer
through the fuel system.
Before starting the machine after it has been stored:
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
• Do all recommended checks and procedures found in this
manual.
• Make sure the engine is warm before you use it.
