• Clean the tractor.
• Clean the tractor inside and outside.
• Gun-grease all the lube points, namely.
• Drain oil from the engine crankcase,
power train, tank of the hydraulic sys-
tem and HPS, wheel reduction gears
and final drive of the FDA and refill
them with fresh clean oil.
• Drain fuel from the fuel tanks and pour
about 5 l of preservation fuel.
• Start the engine and let it run for 5...10
minutes until the feeding system is
filled.
• Lift the RHM rods to the top position
and engage the fixing mechanism
(RHM with an autonomous power cyl-

batteries every month and recharge
them as necessary.
• Lift the front and rear axles of the trac-
tor by means of jacks and put the trac-
tor onto the stands for unloading the
tyres. Reduce the pressure in the tyres
down to 70% of the normal value.
• Drain the cooling fluid from the engine
cooling system and the cab-heating
one.
• Preserve the plunger of the hydraulic
steering cylinder or turn the front
wheels in such a way that the rod
would be in the retracted position.
• Loosen the tension of the generator
and fan belts.
• Put a jacket on the exhaust pipe hole.
• Crank the engine crankshaft to several
revolutions at least once a month.
To remove the tractor from the long-term
storage, perform the following operations:
• Remove the tractor from stands and
bring the pressure in tyres to its normal
value.
• Fill up fuel tanks.
