TRACTOR STORAGE
DAILY STORAGE
1. Keep the tractor clean when it is
stored. Make sure to wash it after
work.
2. Store it indoors if possible. If it
should be kept outside, cover it.
LONG-TERM STORAGE
3. Remove the battery from the trac-
tor in winter and store it indoors.
4. Add anti-freeze to the tractor in
winter season in order to prevent
the radiator from freezing.
5. Remove the ignition key and store
it separately.
Follow the instructions below if the
tractor is not to be used for a long
period of time. This is to operate the
tractor again with minimum prepara-
tion after long-term storage. Repeat
this procedure if the tractor hasn’t
been used for one year.
5. C h a n g e t h e e n g i n e o i l a n d
run the engine to circulate oil
throughout the engine parts all
for about 5 minutes.
6. Use the clutch locking pin to
keep the clutch disengaged. If
the clutch is left engaged for a
long period of time, the clutch
cover may rust, making clutch
disengagement impossible at the
next operation.
7. With all implements lowered to
the ground, coat any exposed
area such as hydraulic cylinder
piston rods with grease.
8. Remove the battery from the
tractor. Store the battery follow-
ing the battery storage proce-
dures.
9. Keep the tractor in a dry place
where the tractor is sheltered
from rain. Cover the tractor.
10. Clean the engine components as
well as the tractor.
11. Add grease to all the grease t-
ting.
When operating the tractor in
an enclosed area, ventilate the
area to release exhaust gas to
the outside. The exhaust gas
is colorless and not visible,
but is harmful.
WARNING
If the tractor is not used for an
extended period of time, fol-
low the instructions below to
prevent corrosion and per-
formance deterioration of the
tractor while it is stored.
