WARNING
Never store lawn mower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas
where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark, or pilot light as on a furnace,
water heater, clothes dryer, or gas appliance.
PREPARING THE ENGINE
For engines stored over 30 days:
• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on carburetor parts, run engine
until it stops from lack of fuel or use gasoline mixed with gas additive. If you
use a gas additive, run the engine for several minutes to circulate the additive
through the carburetor—after which the engine and fuel can be stored longer
than 30 days.
• While engine is still warm, change the oil.
• Clean engine of surface debris.
PREPARING THE LAWN MOWER
• Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in the lubrication
instructions.
• Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit.
• Coat mower's cutting blade with chassis grease to prevent rusting.
• Refer to Preparing the Engine for correct engine storage instructions.
• Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such
as fertilizer.
• When storing any type of power equipment in a poorly ventilated or metal
storage shed, care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light
oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially cables and all moving parts of
your lawn mower before storage.
WARNING
Unscrew the lower handle fixing knob and fold the handle up for storage. Insert
the knob into the hole to prevent it from being misplaced.
