TRACTOR STORAGE

If your tractor is not going to be operated for an extended period of time (thirty days to approxi- mately six months), the tractor should be prepared for storage. Store the tractor in a dry and protected location. If stored outside, cover the tractor (includ- ing the tires) to protect it from the elements. The procedures outlined below should be performed whenever the tractor is placed in storage.

WARNING: Never store the tractor with fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated enclosures, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc.

1.Change the engine oil and filter following the instructions provided in CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER in SECTION 5.

2.Drain and flush the cooling system. Refill with a minimum 50/50 antifreeze and water coolant solution. Use a higher percentage of antifreeze if the tractor will be subjected to temperatures below minus 1 °C.

3.Clean the engine and the entire tractor thoroughly.

4.Fill the fuel tank with FRESH high grade Number Two diesel fuel.

5.Remove the glow plugs and pour a small amount of engine oil into each cylinder. Reinstall the glow plugs and slowly crank the engine to distribute the oil.

6.Fully charge the battery, then disconnect the negative cable at the battery to prevent possi- ble discharge. Thoroughly clean the battery. Recharge the battery periodically when in storage.

NOTE: Remove the battery if exposed to pro- longed periods of sub-freezing temperatures. Store in a cool, dry location where tempera- tures are above freezing.

7.Lubricate all lubrication points.

8.Jack up and block the tractor to remove the weight from the tires if stored for a long period. If not blocked up, reinflate the tires regularly.

NOTE: We do not recommend the use of a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit. They may cause damage to electrical components; spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

REMOVING THE TRACTOR FROM STORAGE

Check the engine oil and coolant levels.

Fully charge the battery and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure.

Start the engine and allow to idle for a few minutes to ensure engine is operating properly.

Drive the tractor without a load to make certain all the tractor systems are functioning properly.
