Abstract/Contents:Discusses end-of-season equipment maintenance for athletic fields, golf courses, and turf areas. Offers maintenance suggestions, including "walk around the equipment, and notice anything that is out of order...check everything from the straps on the backpack blower to the shaft of the weed eater"; "get out the hose and soap and give each machine a good bath"; "check any linkage or lever controls for proper movement"; and "record the maintenance procedures in a log book." Concludes that "keeping equipment looking and running well tells the owners, board members, commisoners and citizens that [one appreciates] their support in doing [the] job."
