Been gone for a week so just got around to this. Take out the battery and fully charge it before the winter. I leave it out of the machine too, no difference. I just take some armerall and wipe it down. If you want to go that extra mile, knock yourself out. Depending on what type of blades you have, the grade of steel, what you cut (lots of sand or fine dirt) all affect how sharp the blade is. As long as there seems to be an edge that is fairly sharp, and smooth, then they'll be okay. By smooth I mean no rock chunks taken out of it. Take a file, not a grinder, and file with a file as it won't take the temper out of the blades and they last longer. With a grinder the blades heat up aqnd it takes the tmeper out of them, making them chip easier. I do mine at least once a year for sure. I also change oil and filter before putting it away so it's ready to go in the spring. Make sure you give each grease nipple two shotys fo grease and make sure every nut and bolt is tight. That;s all I think. Paul
