INTRODUCTIONSTORAGE
TEMPORARY STORAGE
(30 DAYS OR LESS)
Here is a checklist of things to do when storing your unit temporarily or
in between uses:
• Always store the broom in a supported position on the caster
wheels, with the brush off the ground. If the bristles are stored in
a deformed position for extended periods of time, the broom will
become severely out of balance.
• Store the broom in a location out of the sun and weather to prevent
premature failure of plastic bristles. Bristles can become brittle when
subjected to sunlight or repeated temperature changes.
• Properly clean the unit before storage and remove snow, dirt, debris,
salt, etc. to extend paint life.
• If the unit is power-washed, all lubrication points should be greased
before storage. Refer to MAINTENANCE section.
• If the unit can’t be stored on a reasonable level surface, chock the
wheels.
LONG TERM STORAGE
(LONGER THAN 30 DAYS)
Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the Maintenance
and Storage instructions in the Safety section, then perform the
following steps:
1. Coat all bare metal surfaces with paint or light coat of oil to
prevent rusting.
2. Clean external surfaces.
3. Completely lubricate as outlined in the MAINTENANCE section.
