according to the maintenance lubrication schedule.

pins and other hardware are in place.

Check the boom arm and head for worn and

damaged

Store the unit in a clean and dry location.

Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary on bare metal surfaces to prevent rust and to maintain the

appearance of the mower.
