(1) Preparation for storage
※Wash the tractor cleanly and follow the procedure
as below.
zApply grease or lubricant oil or spray paint to the
non-painted metal to avoid corrosion. Keep the
tractor in a covered, dry and well-ventilated place.
Temperature : 10℃~ 35℃(50℉~ 95℉)
Humidity : 45% ~ 70%
zPlace all controls, including electrical switches, in
neutral position and apply the wheel chock to the
tires and disengage the parking brake.
zCheck the lubricant capacity of each part and if the
engine oil has exceeded 100 hours of work,
change the oil and run the engine for 5 minutes at
idle rpm.
zDrain the engine coolant completely. If the engine
coolant is anti-freeze solution, it is not necessary
to drain but check its concentration.
zFill the fuel tank full with fuel.
zLoosen all drive belts and clean the air cleaner.
zLoosen the rubber plug (if fitted) under the clutch
chamber to drain water.
zRemove the battery, clean the cover and smear the
terminals with grease. Place the battery in a
ventilated place not less than 10°C (50°F) and
away from direct sunlight.
Warning ▶When restarting the engine at the end of long-term storage, follow the instructions
of “Preparation for Reuse”. (See next page)
