Emptying the fuel system:
• Prior to putting the tractor in storage, monitor
fuel consumption with the goal of running the
fuel tank empty.
• If a large volume of fuel is left-over, the fuel
line can be disconnected at the fuel filter and
the leftover fuel drained into an approved
container.
• Run the engine until it begins to stall. Use the
choke to keep the engine running until all fuel
in the carburetor has been exhausted.
3. Clean the engine and the entire tractor
thoroughly.
4. Fully charge the battery, then disconnect the
negative cable at the battery to prevent possi-
ble discharge. Recharge the battery periodically
when in storage.
NOTE: Remove the battery if exposed to prolonged
periods of sub-freezing temperatures. Store in a
cool, dry location where temperatures are above
freezing.
5. Lubricate all lubrication points.
6. Jack up and block the tractor to remove the
weight from the tires if stored for a long period.
If not blocked up, reinflate the tires regularly.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of a
pressure washer or garden hose to clean your
tractor. They may cause damage to electrical
components; spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the
engine. The use of water will result in shortened life
and reduce serviceability.
REMOVING THE TRACTOR FROM STORAGE
• Check the engine oil.
• Fully charge the battery and inflate the tires to
the recommended pressure.
• Start the engine and allow to idle for a few
minutes to ensure engine is operating properly.
• Drive the tractor without a load to make certain
all the tractor systems are functioning properly.
