To prepare your Disc Mower for storage:
1. Clean the mower of all dirt and debris.
2. Drain the oil from the cutter bar and replace with fresh SAE HD90 lube oil. (See Lubrication Instructions.)
3. Store the mower on a clean, dry surface in the down (working) position.
4. Loosen the drive belts or remove the belts and store in a dry place.
5. Lubricate all points and slides before storage. This prevents corrosion.
NOTE: Now would be a good time to replace all damaged parts in preparation for the next cutting season.
