SAME SOLARIS 55 - Operations Prior to Garaging the Tractor for a Long Period; Preparing the Tractor for Use after a Long Period of Storage

SECTION VII STORAGE OF THE TRACTOR
–
Cover the exhaust pipe with a plastic sheet held in place with adhesive
tape. The tractor must be completely clean; touch-up any scratches in
the paintwork to prevent rust from forming.
–
Apply a layer of grease to exposed metal surfaces as a protection
against rust.
The tractor should be stored in a suitable garage, and preferably not
exposed to dust. If the tractor has to be stored outside, cover it with a
sheet.
IMPORTANT: do not leave the tractor idle for a long period without having
first carried out the operations listed above.
Preparing the tractor for use after a long period of storage
–
Remove the tractor from the wheel stands (if used).
–
Remove the cover sheet (if any);

Remove the cover from the exhaust.

ual).

Do not use the throttle until you are sure that the engine is running cor-
rectly.
