TRANSPORTING and STORING

7. Change the engine oil (page 42).

8. Lubricate all grease fittings (page 50).

9. Recharge the battery once a month while the mower is in

storage (page 74).

10. Check the hydrostatic oil and top off if necessary (page 49).

11.

Check tire pressures (see page 57).

12. Cover to keep off dust and moisture. Don’t use ,a plastic tarp;

it will trap moisture underneath it, promoting corrosion and

rust. If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity,

because that promotes rust and corrosion.

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

carburetor, 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.

Leave the fuel valve in the OFF position to reduce the

possibility of fuel leakage.

Removing From Storage

1. Remove the spark plug and clean off any oil with a suitable

solvent.

the engine will smoke briefly after starting. This is normal.
