Storage

WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, non-
ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition
source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an
explosion.
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or
other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Equipment
Turn OFF the Power Take-Off (PTO), and set the parking
brake. Remove the starter insert. Let the machine cool.
If you remove the battery, the battery life will increase. Make
sure that the battery is in a cool, and dry location, and keep
it fully charged. If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect the
negative cable.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when kept in a storage container for
more than 30 days. Each time you fill the container with fuel,
®
add STA-BIL 360° PROTECTION™ to the fuel as specified
by the manufacturer's instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and
decreases fuel-related problems or contamination in the fuel
system.
It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when STA-
®
BIL 360° PROTECTION™ is added as instructed. Before
storage, turn the engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel
and stabilizer through the fuel system.
Before starting the machine after it has been stored:
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
• Do all recommended checks and procedures found in this
manual.
