tions:
• Clean the tractor.
• Place the tractor under a shed or in-
doors.
• Gun-grease all the lubrication points:
— FDA;
— HPS;
— Clutch;
— RHL.
• Drain coolant from the engine cooling
system.
• Drain oil from the engine crankcase
and fuel pump body; clean the rotor of
the centrifugal oil filter.
• Drain oil from the power transmission
housings, HLL and HPS oil tanks the
FDA hub reduction gear boxes and fi-
nal drive casings. Then, refill with
fresh clean oil with AKOP-1 additive.
• Fill in the engine crankcase, fuel pump
body with preservation oil K-17, State
Standard (ГОСТ) 10877-76 or fresh de-

• Stop the engine and drain the preser-
vation oil from the engine crankcase
and the fuel pump body.
• Discharge sediments and sludge from
