Storage
It is good practice to clean off any dirt and grease that may have accumulated on the mower and moving parts before storing the mower for a long period and at the end of a working season.
1.Clean off any dirt and grease that may have accumulated on the mower and moving parts. Scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck and then wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck area to minimize oxidation.
2.Check blades for wear and replace or sharpen if necessary. Refer to “Blade Sharpening” on page 26.
3.Inspect mower for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace as needed.
4.Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication Points” starting on page 31.
5.Release spring tension from drive belt. Refer to “Blade Removal And Installation” on page 25.

Tires With Air Pressure
Tire Sealant: Heavy Duty tire sealant has been added in air tires to help reduce air loss from punctures due to nails/thorns etc. See tire sidewall for optimum tire pressure.
NOTE: Under inflated tires can roll off of rim. Maintaining air pressure within 5 PSI of maximum tire pressure reduces the risk of tires rolling off of rim.
7. Store mower in a clean, dry place.
