must be dismounted and sent to warehouse.
7.4 Requirements for tractor outdoors long-term storage
Before putting a tractor in the storage, carry out maintenance services.
Technical maintenance when preparing tractor for long-term storage includes:
- tractor cleaning and washing;
- dismounting and preparing for storage tractor components subject to storage in
specially equipped warehouses;
- sealing of openings (after removing the components), spaces and cavities from in-
gress of moisture and dust;
- tractor and its components' preservation, restoring of the damaged paint coating;
- putting tractor on supporting blocks (plates).
After operation the tractor must be cleaned off dust, mud, oil leaks, vegetation and
other remains. Components where water is not allowed (generators, relays, etc.), are pro-
tected with covers made of paraffined paper or polyethylene film. After tractor is cleaned
and washed, it must be blown off with compressed air to remove moisture. Damaged paint-
ing is restored by putting varnish and paint coating or other protective coating according to
GOST 6572-91.
With long-term outdoor storage, electrical equipment, components made of rubber,
polymer and textile materials (hydraulic circuit hoses, etc), are dismounted, prepared for
storage and sent to warehouse. Fastening parts of dismounted tractor components shall be
mounted back in their places. Electrical equipment (headlights, accumulator battery) are
cleaned, blown with compressed air, terminals are coated with protective grease.
When preparing a tractor for long-term storage, it is required to carry out internal and
outside preservation procedures for the engine according to the engine operation manual.
Lubricate all tractor units according to clause 3 of Table 5.8.1 of the present operation man-
ual. Drain oil and fill fresh oil with the required amount of additives up to the control level to
the transmission and brake bodies, FDA reducing gears, HLL and HSC (FPTO if installed)
oil tank. Run the tractor for 10-15 minutes. Put accumulator batteries in long-term storage
after conducting control-training cycle in accordance with GOST 9590-76. Projecting joints,
threaded connections of lift linkage mechanism, steering geometry, splined surfaces of PTO
shaft end extension and of cardan shafts, and projecting parts of cylinder rods and shock
absorbers, front and rear track adjusting mechanism shall be preserved. Cover carefully the
fuel tank filling neck, diesel breather openings, transmission, hydraulic systems, the engine
exhaust pipe and the inlet air purifier pipe, relative openings after starter removal, and other
cavities, through which atmospheric precipitation may get inside inner cavities of tractor as-
sembly units with caps, polyethylene film sacks or other special accessories. Set shift levers
and pedals to a position excluding spontaneous engagement of tractor units and imple-
ments.
