Proper outdoor equipment storage can help protect lawn mowers, trimmers, blowers, chainsaws, and other power equipment from unnecessary wear when they are not in use. A little maintenance before storage can also make equipment easier to start and more reliable when you need it again.
Clean Equipment Before Storage
Grass clippings, dirt, leaves, and moisture left on outdoor power equipment can contribute to corrosion and buildup over time. Before storing a mower, trimmer, blower, or chainsaw, remove debris from accessible surfaces and inspect the equipment for visible wear.
This is also a good time to replace worn blades, chains, sharpening accessories, or other maintenance parts.

MRO Supreme also carries replacement mower blades, chainsaw chains, sharpening stones, files, and other outdoor equipment maintenance products.
Protect Fuel-Powered Equipment During Storage
Gas-powered outdoor equipment requires extra attention when it will sit unused for an extended period. Old fuel can cause starting and performance problems, so always follow the equipment manufacturer's storage instructions.
A fuel stabilizer for outdoor power equipment can help keep gasoline fresh and protect the fuel system during storage. STA-BIL Ethanol/Gasoline Fuel Stabilizer is designed for gasoline engines, including two-cycle engines and outdoor power equipment, and is formulated to keep fuel fresh for up to 12 months.
For longer-term storage, MRO Supreme also carries Star Tron Stabilizer+, designed for gasoline-powered lawn equipment and other engines and marketed for fuel storage up to two years.
Store Battery-Powered Equipment Properly
Cordless lawn mowers, blowers, trimmers, and other battery-powered tools should be stored according to the manufacturer's battery recommendations.
Keep batteries and chargers protected from moisture and extreme temperatures, and inspect battery packs for visible damage before storing or charging them. MRO Supreme carries battery-powered outdoor equipment and replacement charging accessories from brands such as EGO, SKIL, Milwaukee, Toro, and Craftsman.

Keep Equipment Protected from Moisture and Debris
A dry, protected storage area can help limit exposure to rain, snow, dust, sunlight, and other conditions that may shorten equipment life.
For larger equipment such as riding mowers, a properly fitted cover can add another layer of protection. Toro's TimeCutter mower cover, for example, is made from waterproof, abrasion-resistant polyester and includes vents designed to reduce condensation and heat buildup.
