an extended period of time, follow the
procedures outlined below. These
procedures will insure that the trac-
tor is ready to operate with minimum
preparation when it is removed from
storage.
1. Check the bolts and nuts for loose-
ness, and tighten if necessary.
2. Apply grease to tractor areas where
bare metal will rust also to pivot
areas.

the engine in a closed building
without proper ventilation.

5. Change the engine oil and idle the
engine for about 5 minutes to circu-
late oil throughout all engine parts.
6. Always pull the engine stop lever
outward.

for an extended period of time, the
clutch plate may rust, making clutch
disengagement impossible at the
next operation.
