1. Service your fuel system:
- A. Stabilize
your fuel and run the engine for several minutes to allow the fuel stabilizer to permeate the fuel sysem OR
- B. Drain your fuel and run the engine out of gas OR
- C. Perform "A", shut off the in-line fuel shut off and then run the engine out of fuel.
.3. If your mower has a battery, disconnect the negative battery cable (or both) from the battery. Optionally, you could add a battery disconnect on the positive side and then simple turn it off. There are several of these available, however, I would recommend the "safety switch" model. This particular one is very simple. You simple "turn" the switch off in the fall and "turn" it back on in the spring.

Gasoline in the carburetor of your lawn mower, does not take kindly to lowered temperatures of winter. The gasoline gums up and when you try to restart it after the winter, there s no gasoline flow to your engine and it does not start. You will not be able to do the maintenance by yourself. You will lose time and money making the trip to your friendly neighborhood mechanic. You get all this, for not following up simple steps of winterizing your lawn mower. Avoid all this winterize your lawn mower.
