Bag Full Indicator Adjustment
Sliding the carriage bolt, washer, and nut (1) up
decreases the sensitivity in the bagger before the
buzzer goes off (see Figure 21). Sliding the carriage
bolt, washer, and nut down increases the sensitivity in
the bagger before the buzzer goes off.
1. Loosen carriage bolt, washer, and nut (1).
2. Slide carriage bolt, washer, and nut up or down the
buzzer lever (2).
3. Tighten carriage bolt, washer, and nut.
NOTE: It may be necessary to change the bag full
indicator adjustment as turf conditions change.
Storage
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL
IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or
appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
EQUIPMENT
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.
FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale
fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel
system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel
fresh, use Briggs & Stratton FUEL FIT® fuel stabilizer,
available as a liquid additive or a drip
concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a
fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run
the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer
throughout the fuel system. The engine and fuel can
then be stored up to 24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a
fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved
container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is
recommended to maintain freshness.
ENGINE OIL
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.
See the Engine Manual.
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 this manual.
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes
before use.

WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed,
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.
