X
Check hoses for wear and leaks.
X
Check cylinders for leaks, inspect rod ends for corrosion and pitting.
X
Lubricate all exposed cylinder rod ends with liquid white lithium grease to prevent
corrosion.
X
Check cutting edges and plow shoes for wear. NOTE: Do not discard plow shoe
washers, these should be retained for different shoe adjustments.
X
Clean and lubricate all electrical plugs and connections with dielectric grease. Clean
and install all dust caps prior to storing.
