PART NO. DESCRIPTION
33731 Bagger Grass Collector
The following attachments and accessories are available for the lawn mower. Contact a Sears Service Center 1-800-4-MY-HOME® for more information.
Preparing The Engine
For engines stored over 30 days:
• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on carburetor parts, run
engine until it stops from lack of fuel or add a gasoline additive to the gas
in the tank. If you use a gas additive, run the engine for several minutes to
circulate the additive through the carburetor—after which the engine and
fuel can be stored up to 24 months.
• While engine is still warm, change the oil.
• Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 an ounce of engine oil into cylinder.
Replace spark plug and crank slowly to distribute oil.
• Clean engine of surface debris.
Preparing The lawn mower
• Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in the lubrication
instructions.
• Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit.
• Coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis grease to prevent rusting.
• Refer to Preparing the Engine for correct engine storage instructions.
• Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to corrosive materials,
such as fertilizer.
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 of your lawn mower
before storage.
