IMPORTANT:  NEVER spray unit with high-
pressure water or store unit outdoors. Store 
mower in a cool, dry, protected location.
Cleaning
Allow unit to cool. Clean unit thoroughly with 
mild soap and low pressure water. Brush off 
dirt and debris from all surfaces. Touch up all 
scratched surfaces to prevent rust. Matching 
touch-up paint is available from your Ariens 
Dealer. Do not use abrasives, solvents, or 
harsh cleaners.
Inspection
Inspect mower and repair or replace worn or 
damaged parts to avoid delays when 
beginning use again.
Regularly check all hardware and keep 
fasteners tight. Know unit is in safe working 
condition.
Grass Bag
Wash out grass bag and allow to dry before 
storage. Grass bag may be stored in position 
on mower.
Engine
Close fuel shutoff valve (911154).
When storing unit for extended periods of 
time, remove all fuel from tank and carburetor 
(run dry). Refer to engine manual.
Fuel System
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended 
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate, 
resulting in gum deposits in the system. 
These deposits can damage the carburetor 
and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent 
deposits from forming in the fuel system 
during storage by adding a quality fuel 
stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the 
recommended mix ratio found on the fuel 
stabilizer container.
To treat the fuel system for storage:
1. Add fuel stabilizer according to 
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes after 
adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the 
carburetor.
NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel 
tank inside of a building with potential 
sources of ignition.
STORAGE
CAUTION: AVOID INJURY. Read 
and understand the entire Safety 
section before proceeding.
