Basic Mower Adjustments, Maintenance, and Repair
Prepare the engine for storage at the end of the
mowing season as follows:
1. Run engine for 15 minutes or longer.
2. Shut off engine.
3. Drain oil while engine is still warm.
4. Rell crankcase with fresh oil. Refer to
engine owner’s manual for proper oil type and
viscosity.
5. Position fuel shut off valve to the OFF position
and run the engine until it runs out of gas and/
or use a fuel stabilizer. Gasoline forms
harmful gum and varnish deposits in the
carburetor and fuel system as it becomes old.
Do not store gasoline for more
than 2 months. Failure to
comply can cause damage to equipment or per-
sonal injury.
6. Remove and replace fuel lter if needed.
7. Check oil ller and fuel tank caps to make
sure they are securely in place.
Prepare the stored mower for the new mowing sea-
son as follows:
1. Clean mower and remove any debris and
dirt accumulation.
2. Check the hydraulic and engine oil levels.
3. Fill fuel tanks with fresh gasoline.
4. Run the engine at half speed for 5 minutes
and check the operation of the steering
speed control levers. Then, stop engine and
check for oil leaks, loose ttings, etc...
5. Ensure all safety devices are operational and
review the general safety precautions listed in
the front of this manual.
6. Check air pressure in tires. If needed, inate
to proper pressure: front tires-15 psi
and rear tires-10 psi.
7. See maintenance chart on page 8.
