SECTION VI. OFF-SEASON STORAGE

If the machine is to be inoperative for a period longer than 30 days, the following procedures are recommended:

WARNING

Never store the tractor with fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated enclosures, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc.

CAUTION

Fuel left in the fuel tank during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.

1.To prevent gum deposits from forming inside the engine’s carburetor and causing possible malfunction of the engine, remove all gasoline from the fuel tank as follows:

WARNING

Do not drain fuel when the engine is hot. Allow the engine adequate time to cool.

Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from open flame.

a.Drain any large volume of fuel from the tank by disconnecting the fuel line from the in-line fuel filter near the engine.

b.Reconnect the fuel line and run the engine until it starts to falter, then use the choke to keep the engine running until all fuel in the carburetor has been exhausted.

c.Again disconnect the fuel line and drain any remaining gasoline from the system.

2.Remove the spark plugs and pour one (1) ounce of engine oil through the spark plug holes into the cylinders. Crank the engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace the spark plugs.

3.Clean the engine and the entire tractor thoroughly.

NOTE: We do not recommend the use of a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit. They may cause damage to electrical components; spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

4.Lubricate all lubrication points.

5.Follow the battery storage instructions on page 30.

6.Protect the tires and seat from sunlight. Regularly check the tires to maintain proper inflation.
