How to do it
- Identify the mower model, required serial range, power system, and storage requirements in its confirmed manuals.
- Plan the manual cleaning, inspection, and storage steps before the end of use. Do not improvise fuel draining, battery treatment, or blade removal.
- Store only as specified by the manufacturer. Keep fuel and batteries away from ignition sources and unsuitable temperatures, and keep the mower secure from children. Record any service needed before reuse.
Stop and get help when
- Leaking fuel, damaged batteries, or failed safety controls
- An unsafe storage location or an unidentified power system
Arrange qualified mower service for damaged equipment, fuel handling you cannot perform safely, or unclear model instructions.
