5.7 Storage
Prior to any long-term storage (e.g. at the season end) remove all the dirt and plant residues from the machine. Prevent
unauthorized persons from access to the machine. Protect the machine against climatic conditions but do not use impermeable
protection to prevent excessive corrosion it may cause.
Make sure the working blades are not damaged, sharpen blade cutting edges (or replace them, if
damaged).
We strongly recommend the following steps:
Preserve the cutting disc blades.
Remove all the dirt and plant residues from the machine.
Repair any paint damage.
Perform the post-season machine lubrication according to the
Table .
