PORT WASHINGTON, Wis.--As the lawns of North America go into hibernation for the winter, their owners put away their powered walk- behind lawn mowers. Hopefully, the equipment has been winterized, which is a good practice that contrib­ utes to the reliability of its operation the following summer and helps avoid need for more expensive mainte­ nance later. Now is the time, as the winter is just beginning, to do a thorough preparation for cold weather storage, ac­ cording to the Simplicity Manufacturing Co. here, a manufacturer of powered lawn and garden equipment. Cold weather is hard on stored equipment, particu­ larly if it is stored dirty. You don't need to be a mechanic lo winterize your equipment nor do you need more than two or three hours. Just follow these steps. 1. With the engine off and the traction control in the disengage position, remove the high tension wire from the sparkplug. Drain the gasoline according to instruc­ tions in the manual. Fuel left to stand becomes gummy. 2. Reconnect the high ten­ sion wire and start the engine, using the small amount of gasoline still in the carburetor, letting idle until it stops. Let the engine cool and disconnect the high ten­ sion wire once again. Drain the crankcase, mak­ ing sure to reseal it to prevent dirt entering the engine. Be­ fore sealing, add one ounce of new oil and crank the engine a few times to distri­ bute the oil. preventing internal rust. 3. Clean the mower. With the high tension wire still dis­ connected. tip the mower on its side and remove any dirt or grass clippings that may be sticking to the housing by spraying it with a garden hose. Scrape out any grass that water will not remove with a brush or paint scraper. You may find that the underside of a steel deck needs a new paint job to prevent rusting. (Simplicity has magnesium decks.) 4. Check the blade fas­ tener and blade for general condition and sharpness. If the blade requires servicing, follow the blade maintenance procedure in the operator's manual. Make sure the blade is ba­ lanced before it is installed and then properly tightened according to the manufactur­ er's specifications. A simple way to balance a blade is by putting a screwdriver through the center hole. If the blade tips, grind off a little metal from the Mow" side. Rotary lawnmower blades should always be sharpened on the upper surface only. 5. With the mower right side up, clean dirt, grime and grass clippings from the ex­ ternal parts of the engine, shrouding and top of the mower housing. Give special attention to the cylinder head fins and blower housing, which must be completely clean for proper air cooling. 6. Now service the spark­ plug. With the cylinder head clean to insure that foreign matter does not fall into the cylinder, remove the spark plug, clean it and re-gap it or replace it with a new one rec­ ommended by the manufac­ turer. Replace brittle or gashed wire. 7. After a season's use the air cleaner generally be­ comes quite dirty. Air cleaner elements used on to- day's mowers are most c o m m o n l y m a d e o f a polyurethane or sponge rub­ ber material. Wash the element in a liq­ uid soap detergent and warm water solution. Dry the ele­ ment (avoid twisting it which could cause it to tear) and saturate it with oil. Then squeeze the excess oil out of the element and reassemble the air cleaner. 8. Rotary mowers are al­ ways subjected to a great deal of vibration that might cause parts to loosen. Check and tighten all cap screws, bolts, screws and nuts. Check wheels, too, and tighten as needed. If any part is damaged, repair or replace it. 9. Refill the crankcase with the recommended oil to its proper level. Caution should be taken not to over­ fill the crankcase as engine damage or starting difficulty could result. Lubricate and grease other parts of your mower as rec­ ommended in the operator's manual. 10. Locate rusty- spots. Clean these and paint with a rust inhibiting paint. Cover the mower to protect it from dust and dirt. then store it in a clean dry place. Bright new energsaver!
