Immediately
prepare
your tractor
for stor-
age at the end of the season
or if the trac-
tor will not be used for 30 days or more.
_WARNING:
Never store the tractor
with gasoline
in the tank inside
a building
where
fumes
may reach
an open
flame
or spark.
Allow the engine
to cool before
storing
in any enclosure.
TRACTOR
When
tractor
is to be stored
for a period
of time,
clean it thoroughly,
remove
all dirt,
grease,
leaves,
etc.
Store in a clean, dry
area.
1. Clean
entire
tractor
(See "CLEANING"
in the Maintenance
section
of this
manual).
2. Inspect
and replace
belts, if necessary
(See belt replacement
instructions
in
the Service
and Adjustments
section
of
this manual).
3.
Lubricate
as shown
in the Maintenance
section
of this manual.
4.
Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are securely
fastened.
Inspect
moving
parts for damage,
breakage
and wear.
Replace
if necessary.
5. Touch
up all rusted
or chipped
paint
surfaces;
sand lightly
before
painting.
BATTERY
• Fully charge
the battery
for storage.
• After a period
of time in storage,
battery
may require
recharging.
• To help prevent
corrosion
and power
leakage
during
long periods
of storage,
battery
cables
should
be disconnected
and battery
cleaned
thoroughly
(see "TO
CLEAN
BATTERY
AND TERMINALS"
in
the Maintenance
section
of this manual).
• After cleaning,
leave cables
discon-
nected
and place cables
where
they
cannot
come
in contact
with battery
terminals.
• If battery
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, or tank 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 dam-
age the fuel system of an engine while in
storage.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting the en-
gine 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 fue! next season.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fue! tank or stor-
age 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 car-
buretor. 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).
CYLINDER(S)
1. Remove spark plug(s).
2. Pour one ounce of oil through spark
plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).
3. Turn ignition key to start position for a
few seconds to distribute oil.
4. Replace with new spark plug(s).
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season
to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can
starts 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 with a suitable pro-
tective cover that does not retain mois-
ture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot
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.
