7. TRACTOR STORAGE

7.1 General instructions

ATTENTION: THE PRESENT SECTION CONTAINS STORAGE REGULATIONS
FOR TRACTOR "BELARUS-922.6" CHASSIS SYSTEMS AND UNITS. ENGINE STOR-
AGE, PRESERVATION, REPRESERVATION, DEPRESERVATION REGULATIONS ARE
SPECIFIED IN THE ENGINE OPERATION MANUAL!
The tractors shall be stored in the indoor area or under a shed.
If indoors premises are not available, tractors may be stored on special outdoor sites,
with obligatory preservation, sealing and components dismounting, that require warehous-
ing.
Put the tractors in the inter-shift storage, if their operation is interrupted for up to 10
days, short-term storage if duration of idle interval is from 10 days to 2 months, and long-
term storage if interruption of use lasts for over 2 months. Put tractors in the inter-shift and
short-term storage straight after works completion, and for long-term storage – not later than
ten days after works termination.
7.2 Requirements for inter-shift storage of tractor
Tractor may be stored on storage yards, and inter-shift storage grounds, or directly
on works execution sites. Tractor shall be clean from dirt and dust. Set shift levers and ped-
als to a position excluding spontaneous engagement of tractor units and implements. Ac-
cumulator batteries shall be switched off.
7.3 Requirements for short-term tractor storage
Put tractor in storage in complete set without dismounting parts and assembly units.
Carry out the procedures according to subsection 7.2 "Requirements for inter-shift tractor
storage of machines". Place the tractor on supporting blocks (plates).
Components where water is not allowed (generators, relays, etc.) shall be protected
with protecting covers made of paraffined paper or polyethylene film. After cleaning and
washing the tractor, it shall be blown off with compressed air to remove moisture.
Cover carefully the fuel tank filling neck and the filling neck for SRC system liquid,
diesel breather openings, transmission, hydraulic systems, the engine exhaust pipe and the
inlet air purifier pipe and other cavities, through which atmospheric precipitation may get in-
side inner cavities of tractor assembly units with caps, polyethylene film sacks or other spe-

tilating openings;
- unscrew the plugs 1 of the filler openings of the accumulator batteries and check:
1. electrolyte level – if necessary refill the distilled water in order to increase the
electrolyte level by 10...15 mm above the protective grid or up to the level of mark on the
battery case.
2. degree of battery discharge by the electrolyte density - recharge the battery if
necessary Degree of battery discharge shall not be lower than 50% in summer and 25% in
winter.
