SECTION 7. STORING
STORAGE
A
tractor should be stored in a dry and protected place
when it is left without use for some period. It should be
noted that leaving a tractor outdoors will result in shorten-
ed I ife 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 rustinhibiting grease to all the exposed cylinder
or piston rod su rfaces.
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 "LUBRI-
CATION 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.
I n case
of long term storage jack up the tractor so that
the tires may be under no load. When the tractor is not
jacked up inflate the tires periodically_
4. After the engine gets cooled enough, pour one table-
spoonful of engine oil from the air breather pipe. To
distribute the oil allover 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. Drain
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 durability 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 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 seconds to prevent engine from starting.

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