POST-SEASONAL MAINTENANCE,
PUTTING THE MOWER OUT OF OPERATION
After the end of the season or if you will not be using your riding mower for more than 30 days, make sure to prepare your mower for
storage as soon as possible. If fuel remains in the petrol tank without movement for more than 30 days, a sticky deposit may form,
which can have a negative effect on the carburettor and cause poor engine operation. For this reason empty the petrol tank.
Never store the riding mower with a full petrol tank inside of buildings or poorly ventilated areas, where there are fuel
vapours, open flames, sparking or lighting flames, furnaces, central heating, dry rags, etc. Handle fuels and lubricants with
care, they are highly flammable and careless handling may lead to serious burns or damage to property.
Only empty the petrol tank into approved containers outdoors away from open flames.
Recommended procedure for preparing the riding mower for storage:
► Thoroughly clean the entire mower, especially inside the mowing deck (
Never use petrol for cleaning. Use degreasing agents and warm water.
► Repair and paint dinted places to prevent corrosion from occurring.
► Replace faulty or worn out parts and tighten all loose nuts and bolts.
► Prepare the engine for storage according to the user's manual for the operation and maintenance of the engine.
► Lubricate all lubrication locations according to the lubrication diagram (
► Release the V-belt driving the mowing deck (
► Take out the battery, clean it and charge it fully. A battery that is not charged may freeze and crack. Store the battery in a cool, dry
location, as necessary. Charge the battery every 30 days and regularly check its voltage.
► Store the riding mower covered in a clean and dry environment.
The best way to ensure the riding mower's ideal operating condition for the next season is to have it inspected and tuned at an
authorised service centre every year.
