STORAGE
Winter Storage
The machine must be readied for storage at the
end of the mowing season, or if it will not be in
use for more than thirty days.
Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time
(thirty days or more) can leave sticky residues
that can plug the carburetor and disrupt engine
function.
Fuel stabilizers are an permitted option as
regards to the sticky residues that can occur
during storage.
Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the
storage container. Always use the mixing ratios
specified by the manufacturer of the stabilizer.
Run the engine for at least ten minutes after
adding the stabilizer so that it reaches the
carburetor. Do not empty the fuel tank and the
carburetor if a stabilizer has been added.
WARNING! Do not store an engine with
fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated
spaces where fuel vapor can come in contact
with open flames, sparks, or a pilot light
such as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes
dryer, etc. Handle the fuel with care. It is very
flammable and can cause serious personal
injury and property damage. Drain the fuel
into an approved container outdoors and
store far away from open flame or sources of
ignition. Do not use gasoline for cleaning. Use
a degreaser and warm water.
To ready the machine for storage:
1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially
under the mower deck. Touch up damage
to the paint and spray a thin layer of oil on
the underside of the mower deck to avoid
corrosion.
2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged
parts and tighten nuts or screws that may
have become loose.
3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4. Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer.
Start the engine and let it run until the
carburetor is drained of fuel or the stabilizer
has reached the carburetor.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour about a
tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder.
Turn over the engine so that the oil is evenly
distributed and then refit the spark plug.
6. Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.
7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store
the battery in a cool place, but protect it from
direct cold.
8. Store the machine in a clean, dry place and
cover it for extra protection.
Service
When ordering spare parts, please specify the
purchase year, model, type, and serial number.
Always use genuine RedMax spare parts.
An annual check-up at an authorized service
workshop is a good way to ensure that the
machine performs its best the following season.
