Locking the Mower at Full Lift?

[ulflyer]

My HST Ck30 sits under a shed with a dirt floor and I'd like to keep the mower lifted up to eliminate some of the ground moisture. If its locked up long term, using the knob down below the seat, will that put any undue strain on any of the mechanism?

I doubt it causes strain but it won't hold it up long term either as all hydraulic cylinders leak down. I would just put some 4x4s down to keep it off the ground.

Thanks guys; will put a couple of 4 x 4's under it.
