STORAGE

Storage

If your mower will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and

carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor

ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any

appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water

heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a

spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are

operated.

If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that

promotes rust and corrosion.

Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the

throttle lever in the OFF position to CLOSE the fuel valve and

reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

Place the mower with its wheels on a level surface. Tilting can

cause fuel or oil leakage.

The handlebar can be folded for compact storage:

1. Loosen the handlebar locking knobs

2. Spread the lower ends of the handlebar struts to release the

locking pins.

3. Fold the handlebar forward, over the top of the mower.

When folding the handlebar, be careful to avoid kinking or

pinching the control cables.

With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the mower to

keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or

melt some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover.

A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the mower,

promoting rust and corrosion.
