STORAGE PROCEDURE
Prepare your mower for Storage at the end of the mowing
season as follows. (Refer to the engine manual for direc-
tions for preserving engine). With the spark plug wire
disconnected, turn the mower on its side and thorougly
clean underside of deck. Scrape away grass with putty
knife and/or wire brush then wash down with water from a
hose. WARNING: Tape openings closed to prevent spray-
ing water into exhaust or air intake while washing. Clean
external surfaces of mower and allow to dry, then lubricate
all exposed metal with a light coating of oil to prevent cor-
rosion. Make sure grass bag is completely emptied to pre-
vent decay and formation of mold while in storage. The
grass bag may be washed in detergent but allow it to dry
thoroughly. Store mower during off season in a storage sh-
ed or dry area protected from weather. Handles on push
models can be tilted forward for storage by loosening
wingnuts--do not kink cables!
