Storage
Storage - Storing
Below is a list of protective measures which should be
taken if your tractor is to be stored for an extended pe-
riod of time:
1. Thoroughly clean the tractor. Use touch up paint where
necessary to prevent rust.
2. Check the tractor for worn or damaged parts. Install
new parts as required.
3. Raise the lift arms hydraulically to their fullest raised
position so that the lift piston is in a fully extended po-
sition. This fills the cylinder with oil and protects the
cylinder wall surfaces from corrosion.
4. Lubricate the tractor.
5. Fill the fuel tank with No. 1 diesel fuel.
NOTICE: Do not use No. 2 diesel fuel for winter storage
because of wax separation and setting at low temperature.
6. Open the drain valve of the radiator and engine block.
Flush the system, close the drain valves, and fill with a
50/50 solution of IAT C
7. Remove the battery and clean it thoroughly. Be sure
that it is fully charged and that the electrolyte is at the
proper level. Store the battery in a cool, dry place
above freezing temperature, and charge it periodically
during storage.
8. Place blocking under the tractor axles to remove the
weight from the tires.
9. Cover the exhaust pipe opening.
Storage - Check
Tractors which have been placed in storage should be
completely serviced in the following manner before us-
ing:
1. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressures and re-
move the blocking.
2. Check the oil level in the engine crankcase, transmis-
sion / hydraulic fluid and the front-wheel drive axle.
3. Install a fully charged battery and remove the exhaust
cover if other than a rain cap.
4. Check the cooling system for the proper level 50/50
