Abstract/Contents:Discusses potential seasonal equipment storage techniques. Describes storage preparations for gasoline and diesel engines. Discusses changing the oil and filters, stating that "engine oil should always be drained while the oil is hot, so it drains more completely." Suggests that equipment managers "service the hydraulic drive system" and "replace the air filter elements." Suggests "[removing and storing] the battery in a cool dry space"; "[checking] the belts"; "[sharpening and balancing] the blades"; and "[cleaning] dirt and clippings from the unit and the engine cooling fins."
