Operating the Tractor
STORAGE
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 nega-
tive cable.
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.
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
•
•
Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.
Perform all recommended check and procedures
found in the engine owner’s manual.
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:
•
Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes
before use.
•
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 struc-
ture - see above).
