at the end of the season or if the tractor will
not be used for 30 days or more.

Never store the tractor with
gasoline in the tank inside a building where
fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
TRACTOR
Remove
mower
from
tractor
for winter
storage.
When mower 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
are securely fastened.
Inspect 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).
• After cleaning,
leave cables
disconnected
and place cables where they cannot
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
FUEL
SYSTEM
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 oil through 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.
