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 add a gasoline additive to the gas
in the tank. 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 up to 24 months.
• While engine is still warm, change the oil.
• Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 an ounce of engine oil into cylinder.
Replace spark plug and crank slowly to distribute oil.
• Clean engine of surface debris.
The following attachments and accessories are available for the lawn mower. Contact a Sears Service Center 1-800-4-MY-HOME® for more information.

OFF-SEASON STORAGE

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.
