Might have some sand or dirt in the motor. Try cleaning it with some motor spray. Maintenance would be just keep it as clean as your can and keep the bearings or bushings oiled. Just a little drop goes a long way. Also might want to try some foam to keep the dirt out in the future. Stay safe over there.
