WARNING!
Never store the tractor with fuel in the
tank indoors
or in poorly ventilated
enclosures,
where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or
pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer, etc.
If storing the tractor for 30 days or more:
a.
To prevent
gum deposits
from forming
inside
the engine's
carburetor
and causing possible
malfunction
of the engine, the fuel system must be
either completely
emptied,
or the gasoline
must be
treated with a stabilizer
to prevent
deterioration.
WARNING!
Fuel left in the fuel tank deteriorates
and will cause serious starting
problems.
b.
Using a fuel stabilizer:
Read the product
manufacturer's
instructions
and recommendations.
Add to clean, fresh gasoline
the correct
amount
of stabilizer
for the ca pacity
(approximately
3 gallons) of the fuel system.
Fill the fuel tank with treated
fuel and run the
engine for 2-3 minutes
to get stabilized
fuel
into the carburetor.
Emptying
the fuel system:
Prior to putting
the tractor
in storage,
monitor
fuel consumption
with the goal of running
the fuel tank empty.
Run the engine
until it begins to stall. Use the
choke to keep the engine
running
until all fuel
in the carburetor
has been exhausted.
Referring
to the engine
manual, drain the fuel
from the carburetor
bowl.
3.
Clean the engine
and the entire tractor thoroughly.
4.
Fully charge the battery,
then disconnect
the negative
cable at the battery
to prevent
possible discharge.
Recharge the battery
periodically
when in storage.
NOTE: Remove the battery
if exposed
to prolonged
periods
of sub-freezing
temperatures.
Store in a cool, dry location
where temperatures
are above freezing.
5.
Lubricate
all lubrication
points.

recommended
to clean your tractor. They may cause

to electrical
components,
spindles,
pulleys,
bearings
or the engine. The use of water will result in
shortened
life and reduce serviceability.
