At the end of the mowing season, the machine should 
be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for 
longer than 30 days). Fuel allowed to stand for long 
periods of time (30 days or more) can leave sticky 
residues that can plug the carburetor and disrupt 
engine function.
Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards 
to the sticky residues that can occur during storage.
Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage 
container. Always use the mixing ratios specified by 
the manufacturer of the stabilizer. Run the engine for 
at least 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer so that 
it reaches the carburetor. Do not empty the fuel tank 
and the carburetor if you have added stabilizer

To ready the machine for storage, follow these steps:

Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under 

1. 

the mower deck. Touch up damage to the paint 
and spray a thin layer of oil on the underside of 
the mower deck to avoid corrosion.
Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts 

2. 

and tighten any nuts or screws that may have 
become loose.
Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.

3. 

Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start 

4. 

the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor 
is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the 
carburetor.
Remove the spark plug and pour about a 

5. 

tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn 
over the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed 
and then refit the spark plug.
Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.

6. 

Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the 

7. 

battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct 
cold.
Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover 

8. 

it for extra protection.

When ordering spare parts, please specify the 
purchase year, model, type, and serial number.
Always use genuine Dixon spare parts.
An annual checkup at an authorized service workshop 
is a good way to ensure that the machine performs its 
best the following season.
