grease,
leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

entire tractor
(See "CLEANING"
in
the Maintenance
section
of this manual).

ifnecessary(See
belt replacement
inst ructions i n the Service

section
of this manual).
3.
Lubricate
as shown
in the Maintenance
section
of this manual.

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 disconnected
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

ENGINE
FUEL
SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum
deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel
sys-
tem 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
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 m ix 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).
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
protec-
tive cover that does
not
retain
moisture.
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.
