 Prior to putting the tractor in storage, monitor
fuel consumption with the goal of running
the fuel tank empty.
 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.
 Referring to the engine manual, drain the fuel
from the carburetor bowl.
 Clean the engine and the entire tractor thoroughly.
4. Fully charge the battery, then disconnect the negative
cable at the battery to prevent possible 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.
NOTE: Using a pressure washer or garden hose is not
recommended for cleaning your tractor. It 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.
2. Fully charge the battery and inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure.
 If drained before storing, fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh
gasoline.
4. Add clean, fresh fuel.
5. Start the engine and allow to idle for a few minutes to
ensure engine is operating properly.
6. Drive the tractor without a load to make certain all the
tractor systems are functioning properly.
Hydrostatic Transmission
Your zero turn tractor is equipped with dual integrated
hydrostatic pumps/transaxles that are sealed and are
maintenance-free. However, this model is equipped with a
transmission oil expansion reservoir. Under normal operating
conditions, the oil level in the expansion reservoir does not need
to be checked and no additional oil is needed. If checking the
reservoir oil level, proceed as follows:
