Briggs & Stratton BARON XL Lawn Mower User Manual


 
12 Volt Power Outlet
(certain models)
The 12-volt accessory plug is located in the left side pod
(Figure 1). It can be used to power small electronic devices.
The accessory must be rated at 14 amps or less.
NOTE: Operating a 12-volt accessory, especially with the
engine at idle, may cause battery discharge. When not
using the accessory plug it must be covered with the
rubber plug to prevent moisture from causing a short
circuit. Entrance of water into plug can cause a short
circuit.
Storage
Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the
Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules
section, then perform the following steps:
Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, & remove the
key.
Perform engine maintenance and storage measures listed
in the engine owner’s manual. This includes draining the
fuel system, or adding stabilizer to the fuel (do not store a
fueled unit in an enclosed structure - see above).
Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a cool,
dry place and fully charged about once a month. If the
battery is left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
Perform all recommended check and procedures found in
the engine owner’s manual.
Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before use.
WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, poorly
ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an
ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.)
and cause an explosion.
Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.
CAUTION
Avoid Injury. Safe operation requires your full
attention. Do not wear radio or music headphones
while operating machine.
