Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the Snow Blower when parking it for long periods and
when parking it at the end of a working season. This will
help ensure the Snow Blower is ready for field use the
next time you hook-up to it.

DANGER
To prevent serious injury or death:
•
Always disconnect main driveline from the power take-off
shaft before servicing drivetrain and components powered
by the drivetrain. The power take-off can be engaged if
tractor is started causing bodily injury or death.
•
Always secure equipment with solid supports before
working under it. Never work under equipment supported
by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete blocks can
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls
can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the Snow Blower and moving parts,
and then wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose.
2. Check impeller, auger, wear bars, and skid shoes for
wear and breaks. Repair or replace if necessary. See
“Auger & Impeller Inspection”
on page 30.
3. Inspect for loose, damaged, or worn parts. Make
adjustments, repairs, and/or replace as needed.
4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your Kubota dealer for touch-up
paint. Paint is available in aerosol can, quarts, and
gallon sizes. See chart below.
5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. Lubricate as noted under “Lubrication” on page 33.
7. Apply a coating of oil to the areas without paint due to
high wear to minimize oxidation.
8. Store Snow Blower on a level surface in a clean, dry
place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and
make for a longer Snow Blower life.
9. Follow all “Unhooking The Snow Blower”
instructions on page 14 when disconnecting Snow
Blower from skid steer/tractor.
