MAINTENANCE
For daily or short term storage
Clean the tractor and remove all dirt from
field work.
Fill the fuel tank to avoid condensation and
rust.
Lower the implement to the ground..
Keep it in a machinery shed or, if not avail-
able cover the unit if left outside.
In very cold conditions it is advisable to re-
move the battery and keep it inside in a warm
environment.
This will ensure effective starting when the
tractor is required.
When the outside temperature is below 32℉,
replace the Antifreeze completely or drain the
coolant to protect the engine from
damage from frozen coolant.
When washing the trac-
tor ensure that the water
does not get near electrical
components or the oil lter
points.
To prevent short circuits
remove the ignition key.
Do not wash the tractor
when the engine is run-
ning.
Important
Long-term storage.
When the tractor will not be used for a long
time carry out the cleaning as for short term
storage.
Drain the oil and replace with new oil. Run
the engine for approx. 5 min. to ensure that it
has new oil throughout the engine.
Drain the coolant from the radiator and re-
move the ignition key.
Attach a tag both the key and the steering
wheel saying” No coolant”. Lubricate all
grease and oil points on the tractor.
Check the pressures and add a small amount
of extra pressure. Lower any implement to
the ground or store in a shady dry place.
Place a piece of wood under each tire to pre-
serve the tire.
After relling the engine
with the coolant run the
engine for approx. 5-10
min. at 1500-2000rpm ev-
ery month as a corrosion
prevention measure.
Either removes the battery
or the negative terminal as
mouse damage to wiring
