Cub Cadet 1525 Manual De Usuario

29

Clean and lubricate the tractor as instructed in 

 before storing for an 

extended period.

If the engine will be out of service for 30 days or more, 
the fuel system must be completely emptied, or the 
gasoline must be treated with a fuel stabilizer to prevent 
deterioration. 

If you choose to use a stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with 
clean, fresh gasoline. Following the manufacturers 
recommendations, add the correct amount of stabilizer 
for the capacity of the fuel system. Run the engine for 2-
3 minutes to get stabilized fuel into the carburetor.

If you choose to empty the system, drain any large 
volume of fuel from the tank by disconnecting the fuel 
line from the in-line fuel filter near the engine.

Drain fuel only into an

approved container outdoors, away from an
open flame. Allow engine to cool. Extinguish
cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of
ignition prior to draining fuel.

•

Model 1525: Reconnect the fuel line and run the 
engine until it starts to falter, then use the choke to 
keep the engine running until all fuel in the 
carburetor has been exhausted.

•

Model 1527: Place a small container beneath the 
carburetor bowl. Accessing the bowl drain screw 
from behind the right side of the air cleaner (see 

Figure 30), use a phillips screwdriver to loosen the 
bowl drain screw and drain the bowl.

•

Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine.

•

Change the oil and filter. Refer to 

 on page 20.

•

Remove the spark plugs. Add one tablespoon of 
engine oil into the spark plug holes. Install the 
plugs, but do not reconnect the plug wires. Crank 
the engine two or three revolutions.

•

Store the engine in a clean, dry place.

Never store the machine or

fuel container indoors where there is an open
flame, spark or pilot light such as on water
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliance.
