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:

Thoroughly clean the machine, especially 

1. 

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.
Inspect the machine for worn or damaged 

2. 

parts 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. 

4. 

Start 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 

7. 

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

8. 

cover 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 check-up at an authorized service 
workshop is a good way to ensure that your machine 
performs its best the following season.
