SECTION8: OFF-SEASONSTORAGE
Prepare your lawn mower for storage at the end of the
season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or
more. Store the mower in a clean, dry area.
Mower
• Clean underside of the mower following
instructions on page 12.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers or garden hose to clean your unit. These may
cause damage to electric components, spindles,
pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will
shorten life of the mower and reduce its serviceability.
Inspect and replace/sharpen blade, if required.
Lubricate mower following the lubrication chart in
Figure 14 of this manual.
You can fold your mower's handle for convenient
storage. Follow the steps below for folding.
a. Remove the starter rope from the rope guide.
b. Loosen the two hand knobs on the sides of
the handle, and let the upper handle fold
down to the rear.
c. Move the hairpin clips to the outer hole in the
weld pins on the handle mounting brackets.
d. Remove the carriage bolts and wing knobs
from the lower handle mounting brackets.
e. Spread the sides of the lower handle, and
push it forward and down.
NOTE: When folding the handle for storage or transpor-
tation, be careful not to bend or kink the cable.

engine manual for off-season storage of the
engine.

three months. For instructions on how to change oil,
refer to the engine manual.

or chaff from the exterior of the engine.
