A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the blades:
if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber to the glass. Use a de-icing
product to release it if required;
remove any snow from the glass:
in addition to protecting the blades,
this prevents effort on the motor and
overheating;
