WARNING
Never store lawn mower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas
where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark, or pilot light as on a furnace,
water heater, clothes dryer, or gas appliance.
PREPARING THE ENGINE
For engines stored over 30 days:
• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on carburetor parts, run engine
until it stops from lack of fuel or use gasoline mixed with gas additive. If you
use a gas additive, run the engine for several minutes to circulate the additive
through the carburetor—after which the engine and fuel can be stored longer
than 30 days.
• While engine is still warm, change the oil.
• Clean engine of surface debris.
PREPARING THE LAWN MOWER
• Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in the lubrication
instructions.
• Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit.
• Coat mower's cutting blade with chassis grease to prevent rusting.
• Refer to Preparing the Engine for correct engine storage instructions.
• Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such
as fertilizer.
• When storing any type of power equipment in a poorly ventilated or metal
storage shed, care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light
oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially cables and all moving parts of
your lawn mower before storage.
