Immediately
prepare your tractor for stor-
age at the end of the season or if the trac-
will not be used for 30 days or more.
WARNING:
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
When
tractor
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 manual).
• After cleaning,
leave cables
disconnect-
ed 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 etha-
nol 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 en-
gine 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
alternative
in minimizing
the formation
of
fuel gum deposits
during
storage.
Add
stabilizer
to gasoline
in fuel tank or stor-
age 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 car-
buretor.
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 it to give protection
from dust
and dirt.
• Cover
your tractor
with a suitable
protective
cover
that does
not
retain
moisture.
Do not use plastic.
Plastic
cannot
breathe
which
allows
condensa-
tion to form and will cause
your tractor
to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never
cover tractor
while
engine
and exhaust
areas
are still warm.
