HOW TO STORE A LAWNMOWER WITH SEA FOAM
If you have ever needed to give your lawn the first cut of the year and couldn’t get your mower started, you understand how important proper storage is.
In the middle of the season, you might encounter warning signs like rough running or hard starting. If not addressed, a mower with these problems might not start at all the next season, because of degraded fuel that leaves behind sticky deposits, blocking fuel passageways. This can happen in the fuel tank, filters, shutoff valves, and carburetor. Mower engine failures aren’t always fuel related though. Old, dirty engine oil can also break down and clog passages resulting in oil starvation, lifter issues, and accelerated wear of moving parts.
PREVENTING PROBLEMS
DURING STORAGE
While prevention is the best way to keep your engine running best, you can still address mower fuel issues with Sea Foam Motor Treatment by draining the tank and adding two ounces (or more) per gallon of gasoline. Drain the old fuel, and add Motor Treatment to the fuel tank first to ensure it can work in its most concentrated form to break down the varnish clogging your carburetor. Once clean and running again, continue treating your fuel with Sea Foam Motor Treatment, one ounce per gallon of gasoline.
three easy steps
Add at least 1 oz of Sea Foam per gallon in the tank. For best results, add a higher dosage of Sea Foam to a low tank of fuel to increase the cleaning ratio. Use up to a 3:1 ratio of fuel to Sea Foam.
Run the engine long enough for the treatment to work through the entire fuel system (about 5-10 minutes of idling).
From there, you can either store your mower with the fuel tank partially empty or full. Sea Foam will stabilize your fuel for up to two years.
With the engine running, insert Sea Foam Spray straw (cut if needed) into intake throat (carburetor) or directly before throttle plate opening (fuel injection).
Spray a series of 3 to 5 bursts, then a final direct stream while shutting off the engine.
After fogging the intake, allow engine to cool and remove spark plugs.
Insert Deep Creep (or Sea Foam Spray) straw, and spray each cylinder cavity.
Before re-inserting spark plugs, crank engine to rotate pistons.
