SECTION 7- STORING
STORING
A tractor should be stored in a dry and protected place when it is
left without use for some period. Leaving a tractor outdoors will
result in shortened life of the tractor.
For storing the tractor please follow the procedures
shown below:
1. After washing and cleaning the tractor be sure to lubricate it.
And if hydraulic Implement is mounted apply grease to all
the exposed cylinder or piston rod surfaces.
2. Run the engine until oil in the crankcase gets warm enough,
then drain oil and replace oil filter. Refill the crankcase with
fresh oil specified in the "LUBRICATION TABLE" and run the
engine for five minutes or so.
3. Store the tractor in the place where the tires may not be in
the sun. Before storing wash and clean the tires. In case of
long term storage jack up the tractor so that the tires may
not be under any load. When the tractor is not jacked up
inflate the tires periodically.
4. After the engine gets cooled enough, pour one table-spoon-
ful of engine oil from the air breather pipe. To distribute the
oil all over the cylinder walls, crank the engine for five or ten
seconds. Be sure to reinstall the breather hose on the pipe
after pouring oil.
5. Dry the engine cooling system and fill It with a mixture of
antifreeze and water as specified on the container for the
lowest expected temperature.
6. Fill the fuel tank with fuel, and clean the fuel filter.
7. Plug up the end of the exhaust pipe.
8. Clean the air cleaner and then cover it so as to seal the air
intake system.
9. Check the battery for proper electrolyte level and specific
gravity at least once a month. In order to increase the dura-
bility as well as prevent freezing, the battery should be kept
fully charged all the time.
10.Hold the clutch at the disengaged position in use of clutch
lock, so that clutch facing will be prevented from sticking to
the flywheel or clutch pressure plate.
REOPERATION AFTER STORAGE
1. Check to make sure that viscosity of the oil in the engine
crankcase is as specified in "LUBRICATION TABLE".
2. Remove the plug from the exhaust pipe.
3. Remove the cover over the air cleaner.
4. Check to make sure that the battery is fully charged and the
terminal is clamped tightly enough.
5. Fill the fuel tank.
6. Release the clutch pedal.
7. Just like in the case of storing, pour a table spoonful of
engine oil from the breather pipe and crank the engine while
pushing the rubber part of solenoid switch for five or ten sec-
onds to prevent engine from starting.

8. Start the engine as described in "STARTING AND STOP-
PING THE ENGINE" and let it run slowly. Do not accelerate
the engine rapidly or operate it at high speed immediately
after starting.
