BATTERY
• Fully charge
the battery
for storage.
• After
a period
of time in storage,
battery
may require
recharging.
• To help prevent
corrosion
and power
leak-
age during long periods
of storage,
battery
cables
should
be disconnected
and bat-
tery cleaned
thoroughly
(see "TO CLEAN
BATTERY
AND
TERMINALS"
in the
Maintenance
section
of this manual).
• After cleaning,

in contact
with battery
terminals.

is
removed
from
tractor
for
storage,
do not store
battery
directly
on
concrete
or damp
surfaces.
ENGINE
FUEL
SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential fuel
system parts such as carburetor, fuel hose,
ortank during storage. Also, alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol
or using ethanol
or
methanol)
can attract moisture which leads
to separation and formation of acids during
storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine
and letting it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
al-
ternative in minimizing the formation of fuel
gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer
to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes
after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to
reach the carburetor.
Do not empty the gas
tank and carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain
oil (with
engine
warm)
and
replace
with clean engine
oil. (See "ENGINE"
in the
Maintenance
section
of this manual).

OTHER
• Do not store gasoline
from one season
to
another.
•
Replace
your
gasoline
can

to rust.
Rust
and/or
dirt
in your
gasoline
will cause
problems.
• If possible,
store your tractor
indoors
and
cover it to give protection
from dust and dirt.
• Cover
your tractor

protec-
tive cover that does not
retain

Plastic

breathe
which
allows
condensation
to form
and
will cause
your tractor
to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never
cover
tractor
while
engine
and exhaust
areas
are still warm.
