STORING YOUR SUBURBAN TRACTOR
Keep your tractor in a dry, se­
cure location to protect it from
harsh weather. Over the years, this
will make a difference in perfor­
mance and appearance.
If the tractor is not to be used
for some time, take several steps
for long-term storage.
1. Completely clean all accumu­
lated dirt and debris from all parts,
particularly around the engine fins
and on the engine flywheel screen.
Let engine cool before cleaning it.
2. Apply rust preventative (or oil)
to surf^aces subject to rust. Touch
up areas where paint has chipped.
3. Drain gasoline from the fuel
tank and the carburetor. Fuel goes
stale and also forms varnish de­
posits on critical parts. It is best to
remove the fuel if your tractor will
not be used for several months. Or
you may add a gas stabilizer to the
fuel instead of draining it, if you
prefer.
4. Drain oil from engine crankcase.
Refill the engine with clean motor
oil per engine manufacturer recom­
mendations.
5. Check the fuel filter and replace
it if dirty.
6. Remove, clean and re-gap the
spark plug (or replace it), and put a
small amount of oil (SAE lOW-30)
in the cylinder before reinstalling
the spark plug. Turn engine over a
few times to lubricate internal
parts. To do this, just engage the
ignition key briefly a few times.
7. Keep battery terminal posts
clean and coated with petroleum
jelly. Fill battery cells and
recharge the battery before storage.
Store at 20° F (-7°C) to 50°F (10°
C). Check every two months and
fully recharge as necessary.
8. The air cleaner should be
cleaned prior to storage.
9. Any mounted attachment
MUST be lowered to the ground.
Put the pro Attachment Drive
Switch in the “Off’ position.
