signs of wear, these must be replaced. All bushes are available from

Storage
Remember regular maintenance will greatly increase the life of the machine.
Before storing away, thoroughly wash the machine removing all traces of
grass and dirt. Care must be taken when washing with high-pressure hoses,
do not hold the water jet close to the paintwork. Use steam cleaners with
caution, be sure to remove all detergents to avoid any discolouring or damage
to paint. Grease all grease points until fresh grease shows. It is important
where possible to store undercover to protect against rain and sunlight.
Always ensure a firm level surface.
Smear greaser on all areas vulnerable to corrosion, in particular the
chrome on the ramrods.
Before you attempt to do any repairs, service, maintenance or adjustment on
your machine, ensure the engine has stopped and the key removed. P.T.O. is
disengaged, handbrake secure, and the head is firmly on the ground.
Control levers must be wrapped in plastic sheeting and taped over to keep
dry.
PROPILOT controls should be removed and stored in a safe and dry area.
