MACHINE STORAGE
STORING MACHINE
When storing the machine for extended periods of
time, these procedures must be followed to lessen
the chance of rust, sludge, and other undesirable
deposits from forming:
1. Empty the debris hopper.
2. Change engine oil.
3. Place the main brush and side brush position
levers in the “raise” position.
4. Park the machine on a level surface in a cool,
dry area.
5. Stop the engine and set the machine parking
brake.
6. Check the hydraulic fluid level. It should be up
to the full mark on the dipstick to prevent
excessive condensation from forming in the
reservoir.
7A. Gasoline and LPG powered machines: To store
the machine 30 to 90 days:
1. Remove the spark plugs.
2. Pour 3 oz (90 cc) of clean engine oil into
each spark plug hole.
3. Remove the ignition coil high tension wire.
Operate the engine starter motor for at
least a dozen revolutions. This distributes
the oil over the cylinder walls.
NOTE: Before preparing the engine for storage, allow
it to cool down to the surrounding temperature. Oil
adheres to cold metal surfaces much better than hot
surfaces.
4. Replace the high tension coil wire and
spark plugs.
5. Drain the gasoline from the carburetor
bowl by removing the carburetor
anti-diesel solenoid.
6. Replace the carburetor drain plug.
7B. Gasoline and LPG powered machines: To store
the machine 90 days to 6 months:
1. Remove the spark plugs.
2. Pour 3 oz (90 cc) of clean engine oil into
each spark plug hole.
3. Remove the ignition coil high tension wire.
Operate the engine starter for at least a
dozen revolutions. This distributes the oil
over the cylinder walls.
NOTE: Before preparing the engine for storage, allow
it to cool down to the surrounding temperature. Oil
adheres to cold metal surfaces much better than hot
surfaces.
4. Replace the high tension coil wire and
spark plugs.
5. Drain the engine oil from the engine oil
pan.
6. Drain the coolant from the radiator and
engine block by opening the cooling
system drain cocks.
7. Close the engine cooling system drain
cocks.
8. Drain gasoline from the carburetor, fuel
tank, and the fuel lines.
9. Seal the air cleaner inlet and the exhaust
outlet with weatherproof masking tape.
10. Tighten the engine oil filler cap, the fuel
tank cap, and the radiator cap to make
certain they are securely in place.
7C. Diesel powered machines: To store machine:
1. Drain the coolant from the radiator and
engine block.
2. Close the engine cooling system drain
cocks.
