7 . TRACTOR STORAGE
If your tractor is to be out of service of any length of time, certain precautionary measures must be
taken to safeguard it.
It is recommended, if the standstill period is not very long, to run the engine every 7 days until the
operating temperature of the engine is reached (green scale in the water temperature gauge).
If the tractor is to be out of service for an extended period of time the following precautionary
measures should be taken:

clean the tractor,

drain the engine an transmission oil and refill with fresh oil,

drain the fuel tank and pour approximately 10 litres of special calibrating fuel into the tank. Run
the engine for at least 10 minutes to ensure complete distribution of the calibration fuel
throughout injection system. See the next item before running the engine,

check the radiator coolant level. If the coolant is within 200 hours of the next change, renew the
coolant. Run the engine for one hour to disperse the inhibitor throughout the cooling system,

lubricate all grease fittings,

rise the lift linkage hydraulically and support the lift arms in the fully raised position,

lightly coat all exposed hydraulic piston rods with petroleum jelly, e.g. power steering cylinder
rams, spool valves, etc.,

remove the battery and store in a warm, dry atmosphere. Recharge periodically,

raise the tractor and place supports under the axles to take the weight off the tires,

block the clutch pedal in the fully depressed position,

cover the exhaust pipes opening
