Immediately
prepare
your lawn mower
for
storage
at the end of the season
or if the
unit will not be used for 30 days or more.
LAWN MOWER
When lawn 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 lawn mower (See
"CLEANING"
in the Maintenance
section of this manual).
2. Lubricate as shown in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual.
3. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws,
and pins are securely fastened.
Inspect moving parts for damage,
breakage and wear. Replace if
necessary.
4. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint
surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
HANDLE
You can fold your lawn mower handle for
storage.
NOTE: The upper handle has an "anti-
fold" bracket located on the left side of the
handle.
This bracket prevents the upper
handle from folding forward, which helps
protect control cable(s) from damage.
1. Squeeze the bottom ends of the lower
handle toward each other until the
lower handle clears the handle
bracket, then move handle forward.
2. Loosen upper handle mounting bolts
enough to allow upper handle to be
folded back.
IMPORTANT:
When folding the handle
for storage or transportation, be sure to
fold the handle as shown or you may
damage the control cables.
• When setting up your handle from the
storage position, the lower handle will
automatically lock into the mowing
position.

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent
gum deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel system
parts such as carburetor,
fuel
filter, 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.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2.
Start the engine
and let 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
alternative
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 drain the gas tank
and carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE
OIL

warm) and replace
with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE"
in
