STORAGE OF TRACTOR
TRACTOR PROTECTION IS POCKET BOOK
PROTECTION
If the tractor is stored for any length of time, a few pre¬
cautionary measures are helpful in preserving various
parts, also in avoiding future difficulty.
1. Store the tractor under cover. If it is impossible to
place under cover, be sure to cover the exhaust
pipe.
2. Leave the radiator cap and fuel cap slightly loose
to protect the gaskets.
3. Block the tractor up to remove the weight from the
tires and to keep the tires from contact with the
moist floor.
5. Fill the fuel tank to the top to prevent condensa¬
tion. The fuel should be treated with the proper
amount of Diesel fuel conditioner to prevent forma¬
tion of gum or wax. Run engine long enough to be
sure all filters and injection equipment is filled
with conditioned fuel.
6. Make sure radiator is filled with rust inhibited anti¬
freeze to the lowest expected temperature.
7. When tractor is removed from storage, it should be
serviced throughout, including draining and refill¬
ing the engine oil sump with fresh cleanoil.
NOTE: If this storage procedure is not followed, oper¬
ate the tractor for one (1) hour at operating temperature
once every three (3) weeks.
4. R emove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
Keep it fully charged.
