Storage

11 STORAGE
Protection against weather effects
The ride-on mower should be parked where it is
protected against the effects of weather, espe-
cially moisture, rain and lengthy exposure to di-
rect sunlight. Particularly the UV radiation con-
tained in sunlight can cause plastic parts to fade,
and damage them, in the event of long-term ex-
posure.
Parking the ride-on mower
Never store the ride-on mower with fuel in the
tank inside a building in which fuel vapours may
possibly come into contact with naked flames or
sparks. Only park the ride-on mower in rooms
that are suitable for storing motor vehicles.
Long periods of storage
If possible, the ride-on mower should not be
stored for long periods, e.g. over winter, with a
full fuel tank. The fuel can evaporate.
Before long-term storage, the fuel should be
drained from the tank and the carburettor in order
