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
warning).
• 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 checks and procedures found
in engine owner’s manual.
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before
use.
Storage
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
Never store the unit, with gasoline in the engine or fuel
tank, in a heated shelter or in enclosed, poorly ventilated
enclosures. Gasoline fumes may reach an open flame,
spark or pilot light (such as a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer, etc.) and cause an explosion.
Handle gasoline carefully. It is highly flammable and
careless use could return in serious fire damage to your
person or property.
Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors away
from open flame or sparks.
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from roll
over.
Keep the roll bar in the raised position and use seat belt.
There is no roll over protection when the roll bar is
down.
Lower the roll bar only when necessary and NEVER
remove it.
Do NOT use the seat belt when the roll bar is down.
Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.
Do NOT jump off if mower tips.
