STORAGE
FIG. 93: If Tractor is to be stored for extended periods,
such as off-season nonuse, certain measures should be
taken for its preservation during such periods. These
measures will vary according to geographical area and
storage season.
1.
Replace engine oil and filter. Operate at low idle five
minutes to lubricate parts.
2.
Lubricate all grease fittings and lightly oil control link-
age pivots.
3.
Detach implements.
4.
Store Tractor in enclosed area, if possible, for protec-
tion from weather.
5.
Block up Tractor to remove weight from tires and to
protect tires from oily or damp floor.
6.
Raise and lock three-point lift linkage in up position
by turning lowering rate control knob, 1, fully clock-
wise.
FIG. 94: Step 7 - Fill fuel tank to prevent condensation
from forming on inside of tank. Turn filter valve, 7, to OFF
position.
8.
Remove battery and store in cool dry place. Maintain
charge during storage period.
9.
If Tractor is stored during cold weather season insure
that antifreeze is adequate. Alternatively, radiator and
engine block may be drained.
10. Check with your diesel fuel supplier on the availability
of a diesel fuel additive to place in the fuel system
during storage period.
11. If Tractor cannot be placed in an enclosed area place
it under some sort of cover and cover exhaust pipe to
prevent entrance of rain or snow.
