Engine
Fuel system
Important:
It is important to prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts such as
carburetor, fuel tank and hose during storage.
Also, alcohol blended fuels (such as 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.
N ever store equipment with gasoline in the
tank. Fully drain gas tank and, if necessary, let
engine run until it shuts off due to lack of fuel.
To avoid permanent damage, never use
engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank.
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
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 30 ml 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 recommendations
D o not store gasoline from one season to another.
R eplace your gasoline can if your can starts to
rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause
problems.
I f possible, store your tractor indoors and cover it
to give protection from dust and dirt.
C over your tractor with a suitable protective 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 your tractor while engine and
exhaust areas are still warm.
