BA'n'ERY
• 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 man-
ual).
• 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 or damp surfaces,
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 acids during
storage.
Acidic
gas can damage
the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
25
• 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)
1. Remove
spark plug(s).
2.
Pour one ounce 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

OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season to
another.
• Replace your gasoline can ifyour can starts
to rust, 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 with a suitable protec-
tive 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 tractor while
engine
and exhaust
areas are still warm.
