GROOMING MOWERS - SGM Series - Models SGM 48-60-72-84

7. STORAGE

Before leaving the mower unused for a long time, perform following tasks to preserve the appear-
ance and functionality of the implement, and to make easier the restart at later use:
 Park the mower on a flat surface, in a place dry and protected from exposition to the elements,
possibly with storage temperature between 0 and 50 °C (see section Stopping and disconnec-
tion);
 Thoroughly clean the machine, removing from the blades clamps of dirt and all residues due
to mowing, in order to avoid damage from grass and stagnant water;
 Inspect carefully the machine, checking for worn and/or damaged parts. Perform immediately all
repairs and/or replacements needed, in order to make the machine ready for restarting;
 In case of abrasion of painted surfaces, provide restoring the surface protection through touch-
up paint to prevent rust;
 Make sure the safety decals are in their original positions, intact and legible. When required, re-
place the decals immediately;
 Lubricate properly all grease points, and restore the oil levels as indicated in the
Maintenance section. Use protective oil to coat the exposed mechanical components and to
protect them against rust.

8. SCRAPPING

In case of scrapping, the machine must be disposed in appropriate and authorized sites, according
to local legislation of the Country where the machine is used.
Before scrapping, separate plastic parts from rubber parts, aluminum, steel, etc.
Recover and dispose any exhausted oils to authorized centers for oil collecting.
