Storage
After the season's use, the machine should be thoroughly inspected and prepared for storage.
Repair or replace any worn or damaged components to prevent any unnecessary down time at
the start of next season. To insure a long, trouble free life, this procedure should be followed
when preparing the unit for storage:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Thoroughly wash the machine using a pressure washer to remove all dirt, mud, debris and
residue.
3. Inspect the blades and rotors for damage or entangled material. Repair or replace damaged
parts. Remove all entangled material.
4. Change the oil in the gear box.
5. Lubricate all grease fittings. Make sure that all grease cavities have been filled with grease to
remove any water residue from the washing.
6. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
7. Move to storage area.
8. Select an area that is dry, level and free of debris.
9. Place blocks under the Depth Gauge Shoes.

place.
