Removal from storage
1. Check the battery electrolyte level (see p. 29). Fully recharge the bat-
tery, and install it in the tractor.
2. Remove the spark plug and check that it is clean and properly gapped
(see p. 79). Turn the engine a few revolutions with the starter motor
before reinstalling the spark,plug.
3. Thread the spark plug in as far as possible by hand, then tighten it l/8
to l/4 turn further with the plug wrench.
4. Check the engine oil level (see p. 27).
5. Fill the fuel tank, and start the engine by following the starting instruc-
tions (see p. 45).
NOTE: If the cylinder was coated with oil, the engine will initially smoke
at start up; this is normal.
