Off-Season Storage
The following steps should be taken to prepare your lawn mower
for storage.
Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in the
lubrication instructions.
Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your
unit.
Coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis grease to prevent
rusting.
Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
When storing any type of power equipment in a poorly
ventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to
rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the
equipment, especially cables and all moving parts of your lawn
mower before storage.
