REMOVING THE TRACTOR
FROM STORAGE
10. Store the tractor indoors in a dry
area that is protected from sunlight

must be stored outdoors, cover it
with a waterproof tarpaulin.
Jack the tractor up and place blocks
under the front and rear axles so
that all four tires are off the ground.
Keep the tires out of direct sunlight
and extreme heat.
When washing the tractor, be
sure to stop the engine. Allow
sufficient time for the engine to
cool before washing.
Cover the tractor after the muf-
fler and the engine have cooled
down.
