Anti-freeze agents such as salt (sodium chloride or
calcium chloride) usually are scattered on snow covered
roads. When the machine is stored for a long time after
engaging in snow removal work, perform the following
maintenance to protect the machine from being
corroded and/or damaged by corrosive chemicals or
elements.
