Storage

•There is no roll over protection when the roll bar is down.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.

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.
