The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating
your tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend wide vision safety
mask for over the spectacles or standard safety g_asses, available at Sears Retail or
Catalog stores.

WARNING:
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fue! system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
emptyh Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage instructions for additional information.
Never use engine or

STORAGE
ENGINE
immediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end of
the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
IT iS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM
DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL
SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER,
FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE.
ALSO,
EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED
FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR
METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS
TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING
STORAGE.
ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL
SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.
CAUTION: Never store the tractor with
gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
TRACTOR
Drain the fuel tank.
Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When
mower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a
clean, dry area.
°
"
Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING" in the Customer
Responsibilities section of this manual).
o
•
inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions in the Service and Adiustments
section of this manual).
,
Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities
section of this manual,
-
Be sure that atl nuts, bolts and screws are securely
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage
and wear. Replace if necessary.
o
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.
Start the engine and ,e,
' ' it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
Use fresh fue! next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least I0 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do
not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE
OIL
Drain oil ('with engine warm) and replace with clean engine
oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Customer Responsibilities
section of this manual).
BATTERY
•
Fullycharge thebattery
forstorage.
CYLINDERS
°
After a period of time in storage, battery may require
recharging.
•
Remove spark plug(s).
o
,
To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during
long periods of storage, battery cables should be
disconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO
CLEAN BATTERY AND TERM INALS" in the Custo met
Responsibilities section of this manual).
Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into
cylinder(s).
•
Turn ignition keyto "START" position for a few seconds
to distribute oil.
•
Replace with new spark plug(s).
,
After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place
cables where they cannot come in contact with battery
terminals.
OTHER
,
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
*
Be sure battery drain tube is securely attached.
•
Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline wil! cause problems.
°
If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give
protection from dust and dirt.
o
Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic
cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and
wilt cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TRACTOR WHILE ENGINE
AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
