and is maintenance free. The fluid level cannot be

checked nor can the oil be changed. Always keep the

area around the transmission cooling fan free of grass

and debris at all times.

SECTION9: OFF-SEASONSTORAGE

Clean and lubricate the tractor as instructed in Section7:

MAINTAINING YOURLAWNTRACTORon page 18 of this

manual before storing foran extended period.

Engine

If the engine will be out of service for two months or

more, use the following storage procedure:

Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine.

Change the oil and filter while the engine is still

warm from operation. Refer to ChangingtheEngineOil

on page 18.

The fuel system must be completely emptied, or the

gasoline must be treated with a fuel stabilizer such

as STA-BIL to prevent deterioration. If you choose

to use a stabilizer, follow the manufacturers

recommendations, and add the correct amount for

the capacity of the fuel system. Fill the fuel tank with

clean, fresh gasoline. Run the engine for 2-3

minutes to get stabilized fuel into the carburetor.

To empty the system, run the engine until the tank

and system are empty.

WARNING: Drain fuel only into an

approved 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 plug. Add one tablespoon of

engine oil into the spark plug hole. Install the plug,

but do not reconnect the plug wire. Crank the

engine two or three revolutions.

Store the engine in a clean, dry place.

WARNING: Never store the machine or

fuel container indoors where there is an open

flame, spark or pilot light such as on water

heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas

appliance.
