filler neck, holes of the engine breathers
and the air cleaner intake pipe, the re-
spective holes remained after removal of
the starter and other cavities through
which atmospheric precipitate can ingress
to the inner cavities of the units of the
tractor. Set the control levers and pedals
to position preventing spontaneous en-
gagement of tractor parts and units.
Pneumatic tires can be stored outdoors in
unloaded state on tractors installed on
supports. Jacklift the tractor so that the
tires take off the supporting surface by 8 to
10 cm. Put supports under the rear half-
axle bodies, the front axle or the FDA final
drive bodies (see points indicated by ar-
rows on the figure).
The tire surfaces are covered with protec-
tive agent. The tire pressure in case of
outdoors or indoors storage is decreased
to 70 per cent of the normal. The outer sur-
faces of the hydraulic system flexible hos-
es are cleaned of dirt and oil Hoses can
be stored on the machine. At that they are
covered with protective agent or wrapped
into insulating material (waxed paper, pol-
yethylene film etc.). All holes, slots, cavi-
ties (the filler necks of the tanks and
transmission, the holes of the hydraulic
system breathers, the engine exhaust pipe
and other), through which atmospheric
precipitate can ingress to the tractor inner
cavities, are tightly closed with covers or
blanking plugs. To ensure free drainage of
water from the cooling system and con-
densate, the drain devices are left open.
The hoods and cab doors must be left closed.
When doing maintenance service during
storage, the following items are checked:
correct installation of the machines on
supports or pads (no skew), completeness,
