SECTION 9: STORING YOUR LAWN MOWER
The following steps should be taken to prepare your
lawn mower for storage.
•
Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described
in the lubrication instructions.
IMPORTANT:
We do not recommend the use of a
pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit. The
use of water will result in shorten life and reduce
serviceability.
•
Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage
instructions.
•
Coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis grease to
prevent rusting.
•
Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next
to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in a
poorly ventilated or metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or
silicone, coat the equipment, especially cables and all
moving parts.
