I just got my DF-300 and was wondering what do you do after a run in the snow to dry it out?
Remove the excess snow and let it dry?
Do you use WD-40 after?

Thanks,
Dan

I do nothing. If it has sealed bearings, or the original bushing, you should not need to lubricate it anywhere.

I usually bring it in and let the snow melt, then sometimes use my compressed air to dry it, but it is not necessary.

I start the season by spraying some silcone on the blizzard. When I'm done blasting though the snow for the day I blow off the snow/water when I can. The times I don't get to blow it off I just leave it in the sink to drip dry.
Pretty much like Timmy

Ok, thanks.
I'll check to see if it has bearings or bushings. If it has bushings, I'll order bearing from ebay.
I'll be putting a brushless system in it pretty soon.

What kind of silicone spray do you put on?

I have used general silicone for waterproofing tents, boots etc.... seems I remember someone saying something about using cooking spray like PAM or similar too, have to look and see if I can find it.
