Winter Storage/Storage over 30 day
Regular maintenace at the recommended service
intervals, replacing worn or damaged parts as nec-
essary and having the mower serviced by an
ATCO-QUALCAST Approved Service Agent before
winter storage will maximize the life and reliability of
the mower. Observe the following before storage:
1. Clean the mower down thoroughly. Remove
any grass debris especially around the engine
cooling fins (also see engine manual) and the
brake shoe.
2. Check the cutting action (see "Adjusting the
Blades") and lightly oil the cutting edges.
The following table gives checks and actions that you can perform if your machine does not operate cor-
rectly. If these do not identify/remedy the problem, contact your service agent.
