STORAGE

When storing the unit at the end of the mowing season, the following steps should be taken to ensure readiness for the next mowing season.

1.Remove all grass, dirt, and trash from mower. Clean mower and touch up all scrapes with Hustler spray paint. IMPORTANT: Wash the machine with a mild detergent and water. Do not pressure wash the machine. Avoid excessive use of water.

Preparation of engine for storage

When engine is to be unused for long periods, proceed as follows:

1.Run engine for a minimum of 15 minutes.

2.Drain oil from crankcase while engine is still warm.

3.Refill with fresh oil of proper viscosity.

4.Drain fuel tank and run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. Gasoline evaporates if left in carburetor for long periods, forming gum and varnish deposits in carburetor. These deposits will cause engine flooding and loss of power.

5.Remove and replace fuel filter if not done in previous 100 hours.

6.Remove spark plug and pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug hole. Install plug, but do not reconnect spark plug wire.

7.Crank engine with starter rope at least a dozen revolutions to distribute oil over cylinder walls and valve mechanism.

9.Clean dirt and chaff from cylinders and fins, blower housing and muffler.

10.Check oil filler cap and fuel tank cap to make certain they are securely in place.
