Long-Term Storage Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to the digger when storing it for long periods and when storing it at the end of a working season. This will help ensure the digger is ready for field use the next time you hook-up to it. 1. Remove any dirt and grease that may have accumulated on the digger and moving parts. Scrape off compacted dirt and wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower auger to minimize oxidation. 2. Check auger teeth and bolts for wear and replace if necessary. See “Dual-Angle Teeth” on page 17. 3. Inspect for loose, damaged, broken or worn parts and adjust or replace as needed. 4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosol touch-up paint. Paint is also available in touch-up bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.
