Preparing the Mower for Storage

WARNING: Do not remove gasoline while
inside a building, near a fire, or while you
smoke. Gasoline fumes can cause an
explosion or a fire.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline.
3. Drain the oil from the warm engine. Fill the engine
crankcase with new oil.
4. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour one
ounce of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the recoil-
start grip so that the oil will protect the cylinder.
Install a new spark plug in the cylinder.

5. Clean the dirt and debris from the cylinder cooling
fins and the engine housing.
6. Clean the bottom of the mower housing.
7. Make sure the grass bag is empty of grass. Grass
remaining in the bag during storage will damage
the bag.
8. Completely clean the mower to protect the paint.
9. Fold the handles (if desired).
CAUTION: Be careful when you fold or raise the han-
dle. Do not damage the cables. A cable that is bent will
not work correctly. Before you use the unit, replace a
bent or damaged cable.
10. Put the unit in a building that has good ventilation.
