Swing the handlebar down, being 
careful not to bend or pinch the 
cables.
PLACING IN STORAGE
If your mower will be stored with 
gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the 
hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area 
away from any appliance that operates with a flame, such as a 
furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a 
spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that 
promotes rust and corrosion.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, turn the fuel valve 
to OFF to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
Place the mower with its wheels on a level surface. Tilting can cause 
fuel or oil leakage.
The handlebar can be folded for compact storage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the mower to keep out 
dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some 
materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover 
will trap moisture around the mower, promoting rust and corrosion.
REMOVING FROM STORAGE
Check your mower as described in BEFORE OPERATION (page 11).
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with 
fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure 
that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates 
over time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the 
engine will smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
