STORAGE
To prepare your Rake for storage:
1. Clean the rake following instructions and allow it to dry.
2. Thoroughly tighten all screws and bolts.
3. Store the rake on a clean, dry surface in the down (working) position.
4. Grease the machine thoroughly and then cover it completely and store in a dry place.
5. Lubricate all points and slides before storage. This prevents corrosion.
NOTE: Now would be a good time to replace all damaged or worn parts, and have a machine in perfect
condition ready for use the next season.
During extended periods of inactivity it is necessary to close the cylinders completely. This
must be done in is such a way as to protect the rods from weather effects.
The rods remaining outside the cylinder (whatever reason may be) must be carefully
protected with a grease layer.
