If you intend to store your tractor for an
extended period of time, follow the pro-
cedures outlined below. These proce-
dures will insure that the tractor is ready
to operate with minimum preparation
when it is removed from storage.
1. Check the bolts and nuts for
looseness, and tighten if necessary.
2. Apply grease to tractor areas where
bare metal will rust also to pivot areas.
3. Detach the weights from the tractor
body.
4. Inflate the tires to a pressure a little
higher than usual.
5. Change the engine oil and run the en-
gine to circulate oil throughout the en-
gine block and internal moving parts
for about five minutes.
6. Pull the engine stop knob all the way
out.
7. Keep the clutch disengaged. If the
clutch is left engaged for a long pe-
riod of time, the clutch plate may rust,
making clutch disengagement impos-
sible at the next operation.
