CLEANING AND STORAGE
After 30 days, painted surfaces may be waxed to
protect the luster of the original finish. Machine should
be washed regularly with a mild automotive type
detergent and water.* Exposed bare metal surfaces
should be coated with oil, or a light coating of grease,
to prevent rust until permanent repairs can be made.
Aerosol cans of touch up paint are available through
your Authorized Dealer.
SECTION 6
When the machine will not be used for an extended
period of time, the following steps will help insure
minimum difficulty when unit is returned to service:
•
Perform required maintenance steps called for in
the “Maintenance Checklist”.
•
Check tires for proper inflation
•
Wash machine and repaint all bare metal
surfaces.
•
Start machine and engage mower for
approximately 1 minute to remove excess water
from belts and pulleys. Let engine run out of gas.
As gasoline grows old, it becomes less volatile
and forms harmful gum and varnish deposits in
carburetor and fuel system. DO NOT STORE
GASOLINE FOR MORE THAN 2 MONTHS.
•
If applicable, charge battery. In temperatures
lower 40ºF (4ºC) a battery will maintain a charge
for about 60 days. In temperatures above 40ºF
(4ºC) water level should be checked and battery
“trickle charge” every 30 days (more often In
higher temperatures). Battery must be fully
charged to prevent freezing and internal damage
in weather below 32ºF (0ºC).
•
Remove key from machine.
•
Cover seat switch and solenoid from direct water
spray.
