3. Prepare the mower deck for storage as follows: a. Remove mower deck from the unit. b. Clean underside of mower deck. c. Coat all bare metal surfaces with paint or light coat of oil to prevent rusting. 4. Clean external surfaces and engine. 5. Prepare engine for storage. See engine owner’s manual. 6. Clean any dirt or grass from cylinder head, engine housing and air cleaner element. 7. Cover air cleaner and exhaust outlet tightly with plastic or other waterproof material to keep out moisture, dirt and insects. 8. Completely grease and oil unit as outlined in the Regular Maintenance section. 9. Clean up unit and apply paint or rust preventative to any areas where paint is chipped or damaged. 10. Be sure the battery is filled to the proper level with water and is fully charged. Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a cool, dry place and fully charged about once a month. If battery is left in unit, disconnect the negative cable. 11. Drain fuel system completely or add a diesel fuel stabilizer to the fuel system. If you have chosen to use a fuel stabilizer and have not drained the fuel system, follow all safety instructions and storage precautions in this manual to prevent the possibility of fire from the ignition of diesel fumes. Remember, diesel fumes can travel to distant sources of ignition and ignite, causing risk of explosion and fire. WARNING Operation Never store the unit, with diesel fuel in engine or fuel tank, in a heated shelter or in enclosed, poorly ventilated enclosures. Diesel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light (such as a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc.) and cause an explosion. Handle diesel fuel carefully. It is highly flammable and careless use could result in serious fire damage to your person or property. Drain fuel outdoors into an approved container and away from open flame or sparks. NOTE:Diesel fuel, if permitted to stand unused for extended periods (30 days or more), may develop gummy deposits which can adversely affect the fuel pump and injector tubes and cause engine malfunction. To avoid this condition, add a diesel fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank and run the engine a few minutes, or drain all fuel from the unit before placing it in storage. STARTING AFTER LONG TERM STORAGE Before starting the unit after it has been stored for a long period of time, perform the following steps. 1. Remove any blocks from under the unit. 2. Install the battery if it was removed. 3. Unplug the exhaust outlet and air cleaner. 4. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. See engine manual for recommendations. 5. See engine owner’s manual and follow all instructions for preparing engine after storage. 6. Check crankcase oil level and add proper oil if necessary. If any condensation has developed during storage, drain crankcase oil and refill. 7. Inflate tires to proper pressure. Check fluid levels. 8. Start the engine and let it run slowly. DO NOT run at high speed immediately after starting. Be sure to run engine only outdoors or in well ventilated area. DIESEL FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Fuel companies provide fuel tailored to meet the existing weather conditions. These fuels change at the start of the predominant season according to regional weather trends. Winter fuels are tailored to give ease of starting for cold weather. Summer fuel may be somewhat heavier than winter fuel resulting in slightly better fuel economy and power. Spring and fall fuel is an average blend between winter and summer blend. For these reasons an effort should be made to purchase fuels in such quantities that they are not carried over into the next season. Using the wrong blend of fuel can cause problems with the engine. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for specific fuel recommendations. Operation 27 Operation Operation STORAGE (Gas Model) Temporary Storage (30 Days Or Less) Remember, the fuel tank will still contain some gasoline, so never store the unit indoors or in any other area where fuel vapor could travel to any ignition source. Fuel vapor is also toxic if inhaled, so never store the unit in any structure used for human or animal habitation. Here is a checklist of things to do when storing your unit temporarily or in between uses: • Keep the unit in an area away from where childrenmay come into contact with it. If there’s any chanceof unauthorized use, remove the spark plug (s) andput in a safe place. Be sure the spark plug opening isprotected from foreign objects with a suitable cover. • If the unit can’t be stored on a reasonable level surface, chock the wheels. • Clean all grass and dirt from the mower. • If temperature is expected to drop below 35 degrees, refer to Long Term Storage, Item 2. Long Term Storage (Longer Than 30Days) Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules section, then perform the following steps: 1. Drain crankcase oil while engine is hot and refill with a grade of oil that will be req...
