Clean and lubricate the tractor as instructed in Section 7: 
MAINTAINING YOUR LAWN TRACTOR on page 19 of this 
manual before storing for an extended period.

If the engine will be out of service for two months or 
more, use the following storage procedure:

•

Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine.

•

Change the oil and filter while the engine is still 
warm from operation. Refer to Changing the Engine OIl 
on page 20.

•

The fuel system must be completely emptied, or the 
gasoline must be treated with a fuel stabilizer such 
as STA-BIL

 to prevent deterioration. If you choose 

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

To empty the system, run the engine until the tank 
and system are empty.

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.

•

Remove the spark plug. Add one tablespoon of 
engine oil into the spark plug hole. Install the plug, 
but do not reconnect the plug wire. 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.
