Off-Season Storage

Mower
The following steps should be taken to prepare
your lawn mower for storage.
• Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly
as described in Lubrication section on
page 11.
• Apply a coat of chassis grease to
mower's cutting blade to prevent
rusting.
• Refer to Engine Operator's Manual for
correct engine storage instructions.
• Secure side discharge chute to handle (if
applicable) as shown in Figure 4-10.
Figure 4-10
• Do not use a pressure washer to clean
your unit.
• Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not
store next to corrosive materials, such as
fertilizer.
When storing any type of power equipment in
a poorly ventilated or metal storage shed, care
should be taken to rust-proof the equipment.
Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment,
especially cables and all moving parts of your
lawn mower before storage.
Battery (If Equipped)
• The battery must be stored with a
full charge. Extended storage of a
discharged battery will reduce life and
capacity of the battery. For optimal
battery life, charge the battery once per
month while in storage.
• Remove Electric Starter Push Key (if
equipped) and keep in a safe place out
of the reach of children.
