Storage
At the end of the season before storing, thoroughly wash the machine off, removing
all traces of grass and dirt. Great care must be taken when washing with high-
pressure hoses, do not hold the water jet close to the paintwork. Use steam cleaners
with caution and be sure to remove all detergents to avoid any discoloring or damage
to paint. Grease all grease points until fresh grease shows.
Transportation
Please observe Public Highway Regulations, concerning transport of machines and
securely attach a registration/lighting board. Take care when travelling over rough
ground to avoid bouncing the machine on the tractor linkage, causing unnecessary
strain. When in transport pin must be fitted to stop head falling.
