Immediately prepare your mower for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for
30 days or more.
NOTE:
If the gasoline in your engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carbure-
tor, and other fuel system components, serviced or replaced. Commonly available fuel additives which
reduce varnish and gum in your engine’s fuel system can be added according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. See
