The following steps should be taken to prepare lawn
mower for storage.
1. Empty the tank after the last mowing of the season.
a) Empty the petrol tank with a suction pump.
CAUTION: Do not drain the petrol in closed
rooms, close proximity of open fire, etc. Do not smoke!
Petrol fumes can cause explosion or fire.
b) Start the engine and let it run until it has used up all
remaining petrol and stalls.
c) Remove the spark plug. Use an oilcan to fill approx.
20 ml oil into the combustion chamber. Operate the
starter to evenly distribute the oil in the combustion
chamber. Replace the spark plug.
2. Clean and grease the lawnmower carefully as
described above under "LUBRICATION

cooled down before storing the lawnmower.
