Service Prior to Daily and Short Terms Storage

Wash the tractor and keep it clean.
Refuel the fuel tank to avoid condensation in the tank and corrosion of the fuel system.
Lower the attached implement to the ground before parking the tractor.

For Daily or Short Term Storage

Clean the tractor and remove all dirt.
Refuel the fuel tank to avoid condensation in the tank and corrosion of the fuel system.
Lower the power tool to the ground.
Park the tractor in a dry area with roof, if this is not possible we recommend covering the tractor with a solid
material such as foil or tarpaulin. In very cold conditions, it is advisable to remove the battery and keep it in
a warm environment to ensure functional starting. If the outside temperature is less than 32 °F (0 °C),
replace the coolant completely or drain the coolant circuit to protect the engine from damage with frozen
coolant.
IMPORTANT:
When washing the tractor, make sure that water does not enter the tractor's electrical system

or fuel and lubrication system.
To prevent short circuits remove the ignition key.

Do not wash the tractor when the engine is running.


Long-term Shutdown

If the tractor will not be used for a long time, perform the cleaning as for the short term storage.
Drain and change the oil. Start the engine for approx. 5 minutes to refill the engine with new oil.
Drain the coolant from the radiator and remove the ignition key. Attach the 'NO COOLANT' sign to both the
key and the steering wheel. If there is antifreeze in the cooling circuit, there is no need to drain the coolant.
Lubricate all lubrication points on the tractor.
Check pressure in tires, if necessary overinflate them slightly due to the machine being stationary for a long
time.
Lower all attached implements on the ground or disconnect the unit if necessary.
Disconnect the clutch using the clutch release arm.
Place a wooden support under each tire to preserve its characteristics.
Refuel the fuel tank to avoid condensation in the tank and corrosion of the fuel system.
Recharge the battery every 2 months during long-term storage.
Important:
After refilling the engine with the coolant run the engine for approx. 5~10 min. at 1,500~2,000

rpm every month as a corrosion prevention measure.
Either removes the battery or the negative terminal as mouse damage to wiring can cause

short circuits and fires.
Remove the ignition key and store in a safe place.


Re-use After Long Term Storage

Carry out a full check of all oils and coolant.
Refit the battery and run the engine at idle for 30 min. to ensure optimum engine life.
