10.3.Maintenance of the Tractor During Storage
1. The tractor must meet individual requirements for storage of the tractor during storage.
2. Monthly inspect whether the tractor and parts are rusted, corroded, aged, deformed and have other
abnormalities. In case of any abnormality, handle it in time.
3. Rotate the engine crankshaft (for 10
～
15 turns) every 2 months to avoid internal rusting. The lubricating parts
to be filled with lubricating grease should be filled with new lubricating grease after removing the used
lubricating grease.
4. The tractor should be started every 3 months, and operated for 20
～
30min. Then, inspect whether individual
parts operate normally.
5. Wipe away the dust at top of the battery on a regular basis. Even if the battery is not used, it also discharges,
so the battery should be charged once every month.
6. When the tractor is transported by train or truck for a long distance, it cannot be engaged in the gear. Because
the train or truck rocks during transportation, the tractor tires also moves forward or backward ceaselessly. In
case that the tractor is engaged in the gear, the tire movement will drive the gear, bearing, crankshaft, piston
and other parts without being lubricated, resulting in dry friction causing ablation of parts.
Important:
If the user has not anti-rusting treatment conditions and the tractor will be idled for several months
or longer time, at least the oil and oil filter should be replaced, and the tractor should be started every
months and operate at low speed for 20-30min, so as to inspect whether individual parts have
abnormalities. Then, keep exterior of the tractor clean and dry.
Where the tractor is protected correctly pursuant to the above-mentioned requirements, it will not
be corroded or damaged, usually. After use of the tractor for a period, our company will not be liable
for any possible damage to the tractor during storage.
