Inspect the blade shield area and clean any dirt, grass, leaves, or de- bris that has collected. Inspect the blade and blade shield; replace a blade that is bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged in any other way.

Lightly oil external metal surfaces.

Apply a coating of oil to the entire surface of the blade; wrap it in heavy paper or cloth.

Check entire attachment for loose screws or nuts. Replace any dam- aged, worn or broken parts.

At the beginning of the next season, use only fresh fuel having the proper gasoline to oil ratio.
