3. Clean the engine and the entire tractor
thoroughly.
4. Fill the fuel tank with FRESH high grade
Number Two diesel fuel.
5. Remove the glow plugs and pour a small
amount of engine oil into each cylinder.
Reinstall the glow plugs and slowly crank the
engine to distribute the oil.
6. Fully charge the battery, then disconnect the
negative cable at the battery to prevent possi-
ble discharge. Thoroughly clean the battery.
Recharge the battery periodically when in
storage.
NOTE: Remove the battery if exposed to pro-
longed periods of sub-freezing temperatures.
Store in a cool, dry location where tempera-
tures are above freezing.
7. Lubricate all lubrication points.
8. Jack up and block the tractor to remove the
weight from the tires if stored for a long period.
If not blocked up, reinflate the tires regularly.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of a
pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit.
They may cause damage to electrical components;
spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The use
of water will result in shortened life and reduce
serviceability.
REMOVING THE TRACTOR FROM STORAGE

minutes to ensure engine is operating properly.
