9. Loader Storage
Properly preparing and storing the loader at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance and
to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
• Thoroughly clean all debris off the loader to prevent damage from rotting grass and standing water.
• Lubricate all grease points detailed in the maintenance section.
• Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommend torque.
• Check worn and damage parts. Perform repairs and make replacements immediately so that the loader will
be ready for use at the start of the next season.
• Store the loader in a clean, dry place resting securely on parking stands at ground level.
• Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the loader.
