solvent. Provide adequate ventilation and observe all applicable safety
precautions for solvent.
6.
Inspect all visible parts for wear, breakage or damage. Replace any part
required to make necessary repair with factory approved parts only.
7.
Apply light coat of protective grease to transmission driveshaft to prevent
formation of rust.
8.
Store Auger with operator handles level with ground to prevent
transmission oil draining from breather vent and damaging surrounding
environment and to minimize potential for crankcase oil entering
combustion chamber and creating hydraulic lock up.
9.
DO NOT allow handles to come in contact with augers, shovels, or other
sharp and abrasive objects during storage to prevent damage.
