Storing Blade
Clean the blade with water under pressure.
If possible, store blade indoors on hard, level surface.
If you store blade outside:
• Put blocks of wood or a board under blade.
• Cover blade with a waterproof cover.
Inspect blade. Repair or replace badly worn or damaged
parts. Check all bolts, nuts, and pins to make sure they are
secure.
Apply touch-up paint where needed to prevent rust.
Oil all pivot points so that they will work freely.
Grease blade pivot plate, thrust channel, pivot plate
reinforcement and pivot release bracket.
