STORAGE

Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the

“Maintenance and Storage” instructions in the SAFETY

RULES AND INFORMATION section, then perform the

following steps:

• Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, & remove

the key.

• Perform engine maintenance and storage measures

listed in the Engine Manual. This includes draining

the fuel system, or adding stabilizer to the fuel (do not

store a fueled unit in an enclosed structure - see

WARNING).

WARNING

Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed,

poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can

travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace,

water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion.

Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.

• Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a

cool, dry place and fully charged about once a month.

If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect the negative

cable.

Before starting the unit after it has been stored:

• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.

• Perform all recommended checks and procedures

found in the Engine Manual.

• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes

before use.
