WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, 
poorly ventilated structure.  Fuel vapors can 
travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, 
water heater,  etc.) and cause an explosion.
Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and 
animals.
Battery Maintenance
 
Cleaning the Battery and Cables
 1.  Disconnect the cables from the battery, negative 
cable first (B, Figure 29).
 2.  Clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a 
wire brush until shiny.
 3.  Reinstall the battery and reattach the battery 
cables, positive cable first (see A, Figure 29)
 4.  Coat the cable ends and battery terminals with 
petroleum jelly or non-conducting grease.
Storage
Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the 
Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety 
Rules section, then perform the following steps:
  •  Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, & 
remove the key.
  •  Perform engine maintenance and storage 
measures listed in the engine owner’s manual.  
This includes draining the fuel system, or adding 
stabilizer to the fuel (do not store a fueled unit in 
an enclosed structure - see warning).
  •  Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in 
a cool, dry place and fully charged about once a 
month. If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect 
the negative cable.
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
  •  Check all fluid levels.  Check all maintenance 
items.
  •  Perform all recommended checks and procedures 
found in the engine owner’s manual.
  •  Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes 
before use.
