Again,
I would refer you to my previous article lawnmower maintenance for
information on how to prepare the engine for off -season storage.
Give both machines a good cleaning; remove any weeds that have
tangled around the tines of the rototiller in particular. Also, make
sure that the transmission on your snow blower or rototiller is full
of oil and there are no leaks. If it takes grease, give it a couple
of shots with a grease gun before putting it away. Then, use a
silicone grease or spray on all exposed bare metal to prevent
rusting. Put some silicone grease on any expose bolts and nuts to
keep them from rusting too.

by following the preceding. The reader follows these suggestions at
their own risk.
