STORING THE MOWER

See Figure 16.
WARNING:
While storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides
of this product, including overhead. Allow a minimum of
30 minutes of "cool down" time before storage. Heat cre-
ated by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough
to ignite combustible objects.
 Clean any grass clippings that have accumulated on the
underside of the mower deck.
 Drain the fuel tank completely by running the mower until
the gas runs out. Stored gas can go stale in 30 days.
Store mower indoors in a clean, dry place out of the reach
of children.
• To store the mower in a horizontal position, lower the
handle assembly. Avoid pinching or trapping any cables.
• To store the mower in a vertical position, remove the
grass bag, then lower the handle assembly. Avoid
pinching or trapping any cables. Raise the mower 90°
to rest on its rear support.
NOTE: Make sure the pins on the handle adjustment knobs
are fully locked before attempting to raise the mower to the
standing position.
NOTICE:
Do not allow the starter cable to become pinched or
trapped when lowering the handle. Do not store near
corrosive materials such as fertilizer or rock salt.
