IMPORTANT: NEVER spray unit with high-

pressure water or store unit outdoors. Store

mower in a cool, dry, protected location.

Cleaning

Allow unit to cool. Clean unit thoroughly with

mild soap and low pressure water. Brush off

dirt and debris from all surfaces. Touch up all

scratched surfaces to prevent rust. Matching

touch-up paint is available from your Ariens

Dealer. Do not use abrasives, solvents, or

harsh cleaners.

Inspection

Inspect mower and repair or replace worn or

damaged parts to avoid delays when

beginning use again.

Regularly check all hardware and keep

fasteners tight. Know unit is in safe working

condition.

Grass Bag

Wash out grass bag and allow to dry before

storage. Grass bag may be stored in position

on mower.

Engine

Close fuel shutoff valve (911154).

When storing unit for extended periods of

time, remove all fuel from tank and carburetor

(run dry). Refer to engine manual.

Fuel System

Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended

periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,

resulting in gum deposits in the system.

These deposits can damage the carburetor

and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent

deposits from forming in the fuel system

during storage by adding a quality fuel

stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the

recommended mix ratio found on the fuel

stabilizer container.

To treat the fuel system for storage:

1. Add fuel stabilizer according to

manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes after

adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the

carburetor.

NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel

tank inside of a building with potential

sources of ignition.

STORAGE

CAUTION: AVOID INJURY. Read

and understand the entire Safety

section before proceeding.
