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,

nected and place cables where they

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
ethanol
or methanol)
can attract moisture
which leads to separation
and formation
of
3O
acids during storage
Acidic gas can dam-
age the fue! 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 carbure-
tor
Do not empty the gas tank and carbu-
retor if using fuel stabilizer

OTHER
• Do not store gasoline

Rust and/or
dirt in your

indoors
and cover it to give protection
from dust
and dirt
• Cover your tractor with a suitable
pro*
tective cover that does not
retain mois-
ture
Do not use plastic
Plastic cannot
breathe
which allows condensation
to
form and will cause your tractor
to rust
IMPORTANT:
Never cover tractor while
engine
and exhaust
areas are still warm
