Winter Storage
At the end of the mowing season, the machine should be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for longer than 30 days). Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time (30 days or more) can leave
WARNING!
Never store an engine with fuel in the tanks indoors or in poorly ventilated spaces where fuel va- por cancome in contact with open flames, sparks, or a pilot light such as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes drier, etc.
Handle the fuel with care. It is very flammable and careless use can cause serious personal injury and property damage.
Drain the fuel into an approved container outdoors and far away from open flame.
Never use fuel for cleaning. Use a degrease and warm water in- stead.
To ready the machine for storage, follow these steps:
1.Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under the mower deck. Touch up damage to the paint and spray a thin layer of oil on the underside of the mower deck in order to avoid corrosion.
2.Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may have become loose.
3.Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4.Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start the engine and allow it to run until the stabilizer has reached the injectors.
5.Remove glow plugs and pour about a tablespoon of engine oil into each cylinder. Turn over the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed. Replace glow plugs.
6.Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.
7.Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct cold.
8.Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover it for extra protection.
