10.2.Storage of The Tractor
If the tractor is not used for a long time, we recommend that you conduct following operations to protect important
parts of the tractor from being damaged during storage.
1. Before storage, carefully inspect the tractor, and eliminate possible faults, and keep it in good technical
condition. Clean exterior of the tractor.
2. Start the tractor to inspect the fuel and injection systems, and ensure that they operate normally.
3. Empty anti-freezer and anti-rust fluid in the radiator, cylinder block and water pump, and oil in the lubricating
system and the hydraulic system.
4. Replenish specified coolant to the radiator system, and fill anti-freezer and anti-corrosion agent.
5. Dismantle the battery, and apply lubricating grease to the poles, as well as store it in a well-ventilated room
being protected from light and with temperature being not less than 10
℃
.
6. Empty oil in the engine when the engine is warm, and fill new oil, as well as have the engine operated at low
speed for several minutes, so that the oil is evenly applied to surface of individual moving parts.
7. Inject lubricating grease to individual lubricating points.
8. Apply vaseline (heated to 100
℃
～
200
℃
) to surfaces of electric contacts, connectors and metal parts that are
not painted.
9. Loosen the engine fan belt, and if necessary, remove the belt and package it for storage, and then spray rust
inhibitor to the pulley groove. The tractor surface with paint being peeled off should be re-painted.
10. Empty diesel in the diesel tank and clean the oil tank.
11. Use protective material (such as canvass, water-proof cloth or oil paper and etc.) to seal the engine ports that
are not sealed, such as air inlet and exhaust port, so as to prevent ingression of foreign bodies, dust or moisture
into the engine.
12. Set all control handles to neutral position (including electric switch and parking brake), align the front wheels
of the tractor, and put the hitch lever to the lowest position.
13. Support the tractor with a wooden frame to enable the tires to be unloaded. And, inspect tire pressure on a
regular basis.
14. The tractor should be parked in a garage or car shed, and the storage place should be well-ventilated and dry.
It is prohibited that it is stored together with corrosive articles and gases. If no conditions meet requirements
and the tractor is stored outdoor, a platform that is at a high place and kept dry must be selected, and the tractor
should be covered with waterproof cloth.
15. The exposed metal surface should be applied with lubricating grease to protect it from being rusted.
16. The parts removed from the tractor and the tools should be cleaned, packaged and stored in a dry warehouse.
