STORAGE
Storage
Winter Storage
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 specifi ed 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
WARNING!
Never store an engine with 
fuel in the tank indoors or in 
poorly ventilated spaces where 
fuel vapor can come in contact 
with open fl ames, sparks, or a 
pilot light such as in a boiler, 
hot water tank, clothes drier, 
etc. Handle the fuel with care. 
It is very fl ammable and can 
cause serious personal injury 
and property damage. Drain the 
fuel into an approved container 
outdoors and far away from 
open fl ame. Never use gasoline 
for cleaning. Use a degreaser 
and warm water instead.
To ready the machine for storage, follow these steps:
1.  Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under 
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.
2.  Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts 
and tighten any nuts or screws that may have 
become loose.
3.  Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4.  Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start 
the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor 
is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the 
carburetor.
5.  Remove the spark plug and pour about a 
tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn over 
the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed and 
then refi t the spark plug.
6.  Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.
7.  Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the 
battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct 
cold.
8.  Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover 
it for extra protection.
Service
When ordering spare parts, please specify the 
purchase year, model, type, and serial number. 
Always use genuine Dixon spare parts. 
An annual check-up at an authorized service workshop 
is a good way to ensure that your machine performs its 
best the following season.
