BATTERY
• Fully charge
the battery
for storage.
• After
a period
of time
in storage,
battery
may require
recharging.
• To help prevent
corrosion
and power
leak-
age during long periods
of storage,
battery
cables
should
be disconnected
and bat-
tery cleaned
thoroughly
(see "TO CLEAN
BATTERY
AND
TERMINALS"
in the
Maintenance
section
of this manual).
• After cleaning,
leave cables disconnected
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

surfaces.
ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum
deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel system
parts such as carburetor,
fue! hose,
or tank
during
storage.
Also,
alcohol
blended
fuels
(called gasoho!
or using ethanol
or methanol)
can attract
moisture
which
leads to separa-
tion 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 engine
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 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
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)

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

tive cover
that does

Plastic
cannot
breathe
which allows condensation
to form and will
cause
your tractor
to rust.

cover
tractor
while
engine
and exhaust
areas
are still warm.
