7. TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
BEFORE LOADING
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before
loading the mower onto the transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust
system can burn you and can ignite some materials.
Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. This will prevent carburettor flooding
and reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
If equipped, remove the grass bag.
LOADING AND UNLOADING
If a suitable loading ramp is not available, two people should lift the mower on
and off the transport vehicle while holding the mower level.
Position the mower so all four wheels are on the bed of the transport vehicle.
Tie the mower down with rope or straps and block the wheels. Keep the tie-
down rope or straps away from the controls, adjustment levers, cables and the
carburettor.
The handlebar can be folded so the mower will take up less space (see page
40).
STORAGE PREPARATION
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your lawn mower trouble-
free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion
from impairing your lawn mowers function and appearance and will make the
engine easier to start when you use the lawn mower again.
