Off-Season Storage

Riding Mower Storage

If your riding mower is not going to be operated for an extended

period of time (thirty days to approximately six months), the riding

mower should be prepared for storage. Store the riding mower

in a dry and protected location. If stored outside, cover the riding

mower (including the tires) to protect it from the elements. The

procedures outlined below should be performed whenever the

riding mower is placed in storage.

 Change the engine oil and filter following the instructions

provided in the Engine Manual.

WARNING! Never store the riding mower with fuel

in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated

enclosures, where fuel fumes may reach an open

flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water

heater, clothes dryer, etc.

2. Service the engine as instructed in the seperate engine

manual.

deterioration and gum from forming in fuel system or on

essential carburetor parts. If the gasoline in your engine

deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the

carburetor, and other fuel system components, serviced or

replaced.

WARNING: Drain fuel only into anapproved

container outdoors, away from an open flame. Allow

engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes,

and other sources of ignition prior to draining fuel.

 Remove the spark plugs and pour approximately one

ounce of oil into each cylinder. Crank the engine one or

two turns to spread the oil evenly on the cylinder walls.

Replace the spark plugs.

4. Clean the engine and the entire riding mower thoroughly.

NOTE: Use of a pressure washer or garden hose is not

recommended to clean your riding mower. They may

cause damage to electrical components, spindles, pulleys,

bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in

shortened life and reduce serviceability.

5. Sharpen the blades so that the mower will be ready to use

when needed.

6. Protect the metal surfaces. Repair scratches with the

7. Clean and fully charge the battery, then disconnect the

negative cable at the battery to prevent possible discharge.

Recharge the battery periodically when in storage.

NOTE: Remove the battery if exposed to prolonged periods

of sub-freezing temperatures. Store in a cool, dry location

where temperatures are above freezing.

8. Lubricate all lubrication points.

off of the tires.

Removing the Riding Mower from Storage

 Check the engine oil.

2. Fully charge the battery, lower riding mower off blocks,

and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure.

 Remove the spark plugs and wipe them off. Using the

starter, crank the engine to pump the excess oil out of the

spark plug holes. Replace the spark plugs and the ignition

leads.

4. If drained before storing, fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh

gasoline.

5. Check the level of the engine oil in the crankcase and the

hydraulic reservoir tank.

6. Start the engine and allow to idle for a few minutes to

ensure engine is operating properly.

7. Drive the riding mower without a load to make certain all

the riding mower systems are functioning properly.
