4.3.1 Prepare the machine for storage

Prepare the machine for storage at the end of each season. When possible, store the machine in a covered

3. Clean the machine of any dirt, grease, or other materials.
4. Put a protective layer of heavy oil or grease on all earth engaging parts to prevent rust.
