Replace worn or damaged components immediately.

Storage Procedure
Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for directions regarding
engine storage preparations. Prepare the mower for “end of
season” storage as follows:
1. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank and let the engine run
until all fuel is out of the carburetor.
2. Disconnect and remove the spark plug wire away from
the spark plug before any other preparations are made!
3. Tape all openings closed to prevent spraying water into
the exhaust or air intakes during washing.
4. Tilt the mower up on its rear wheels and thoroughly
clean the underside of the deck. Do not tilt the mower
with the spark plug or carburetor down. Scrape away
any accumulation of grass with a putty knife and/or
wire brush.
5. Lubricate all exposed metal with a light coating of oil to
prevent corrosion.
6. Carefully fold the handles, “flexing” the control cables to
prevent cable damage.
7. Store the mower in a shed or other dry area, protected
from weather.
