Winterization Process

[DixHead]

What do you recommend for winterizing my XT2800? The oil has been changed recently, so mainly a question of what to do with the fuel (stabil, drain, etc.)

Thanks

Stabilize your fuel,Disconnect your battery,Run the engine about once a week(to keep the battery charged and the engine seals lubricated).You can also put your unit on blocks(to pervent flat spots on the tires).Now would also be a good time to change all of your filters,and clean everything so you will be ready to mow in the spring.If you have any more questions feel free to ask! :)

DCService, I am not sure, but I believe iI have read , somewhere, of a special process to disconnect and connect the battery leads. This was supposed to be done so as not to "spike" the brain. I understand this "spiking" is not covered under warranty.

Spiking comes from jump starting or a booster pack,not from disconnecting the battery.Do not do this(as per your owners manual) If you use a battery tender,your battery will last longer. :)
