STORAGE

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

When you do not plan to use your vehicle for some time, it should be stored in a dry and protected place. Unnecessary exposure to the elements may deteriorate its appearance and shorten the usual service life.

ENGINE

1.Drain the fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor.

2.Operate the engine until the gasoline in the carburetor is completely consumed.

3.While the engine is still warm, drain the oil form the crankcase and refill with fresh oil. Refer to Engine Manual for manufacturer’s instructions.

4.After engine has cooled, remove the spark plugs and put about one tablespoon of SAE 30 oil into the cylinder.

5.Clean exterior of engine. Paint the exposed metal or coat it with a light coating of rust preventative oil.

BATTERY

1.Remove battery and clean it. Refer to manufacturer’s manual for specific instructions.

2.Maintenance-free batteries should be stored in an upright position in a cool dry place. Storage above 80° F (28 °C) greatly increases self-discharge. If wet batteries are discharged, the electrolyte will freeze when stored below

20° F (-7 °C).

IMPORTANT: The battery should be checked every 60 to 90 days while in storage and should be recharged if necessary.

TRACTOR

Wash, clean and completely lubricate the tractor. Paint any exposed metal.

TIRES

1.Before storing the vehicle, clean the tires thoroughly.

2.Jack up the vehicle so that the load is off the tires. If it is not jacked up, check the tires at regular intervals and re-inflate as necessary to keep them at the recommended maximum pressure (Indicated on tire’s side wall).

3.Store the vehicle so that the tires are protected from sunlight.

STARTING THE ENGINE AFTER STORAGE

If mower is cold, move the mower to a heat location and allow it to come to room temperature (70°F - 22°C) before starting. This will prevent premature wear of hydraulic system components.

Follow the towing procedure (see PUSHING OR TOWING INSTRUCTIONS on page 12).

1.Check and recharge the battery according to recommendations (see CHARGING A BATTERY on page 21).

2.Reinstall the battery

3.Check oil level in crankcase and hydraulic oil tank.

4.Fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. Check fuel filter. Check fuel shut off valve; open if necessary.

5.Before driving the vehicle, check to make certain that the tires are properly inflated to the proper pressure.

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly:

•Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

•Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.

•Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

•Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side.
