OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season
to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can
starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protec-
tive cover that does not retain mois-
ture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot
breathe which allows condensation to
form and will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover mower while
engone and exhaust areas are still warm.
_, CAUTION:
Never store the lawn mower
with gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes
may reach an open flame or
spark. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.
