STORAGE SAFETY
•
Store the unit in an area away from human
activity.
•
Do not permit children to play on or around
the stored machine.

Store the unit in a dry, level area. Support
the frame with planks if required.
At the end of the season, the machine should be
thoroughly inspected and prepared for storage.
Repair or replace any worn or damaged com-
ponents to prevent any unnecessary down time
at the beginning of the next season. Follow this
procedure:
1. Thoroughly wash
the machine
with a pressure
washer or water
hose to remove
all dirt, mud,
debris or residue.
2. Make sure all the
water drains out
of the blower and
duct compart-
ments.
3. Lubricate all
grease points to
remove any water
residue from
washing.
4. Remove any
material that has
become entan-
gled around any moving part.
5. Run the machine for a couple of minutes at
low RPM to dry the inside of the blower and
duct.
6. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to pre-
vent rusting.
7. Move the machine to its storage area.
8. Store in a dry, level spot.
