Lawn Care Equipment

Your lawn care equipment is crucial for maintaining the health and appearance of your property! Proper winter storage is essential to ensure your lawn mowers, weed eaters, and leaf blowers remain in good condition. Follow these simple steps to keep your equipment safe:

  1. Remove Old Fuel: Empty the fuel tank to prevent the fuel from becoming stale and causing damage.

  2. Drain the Carburetor Fuel Bowl: This will help avoid fuel residue buildup that can clog your carburetor.

  3. Disconnect the Battery: Removing the battery prevents it from draining over the winter.

  4. Change the Oil: Fresh oil keeps the engine parts lubricated and protected while in storage.

  5. Store in a Dry Environment: Keep your equipment in a dry place like a Robb’s storage shed to prevent rust and corrosion.

By taking these steps, you can ensure your lawn care equipment is ready for action when spring arrives!


Recreational Vehicle Storage

Preparing your recreational vehicle (RV) for winter storage can be straightforward with the right checklist! Here are some essential and helpful winter storage tips to keep your RV in great shape:

  1. Drain and Clean the Motor: Remove old fuel from the carburetor fuel bowl and drain the fuel from the generator.

  2. Pump Antifreeze: Run antifreeze through the vehicle’s pipes to prevent them from freezing.

  3. Disconnect the Batteries: This prevents the batteries from discharging over the winter.

  4. Clean the Interior: Remove any food to avoid attracting pests.

  5. Drain Plumbing and Storage Tanks: This is crucial to prevent pipes from bursting due to frozen water.

Additionally, for cars that will be stored and not used during the winter, consider lifting the car onto jacks and lowering the tire pressure to extend the life of the tires and suspension.
