IMPORTANT: Any time tractor will not be used for several months, use this procedure to minimize corrosion and deterioration.

1. Service air cleaner (A). (See Servicing Air Cleaner in Service section.)

2. If coolant has been in tractor for two years, flush cooling system (B). (See Flush Cooling System in Service section.) Add 50 percent antifreeze water mixture. Test coolant for adequate cold weather protection.

3. Change engine oil and filter (D). (See Change Engine Oil and Filter in Service—250 Hours section.)

4. Drain fuel and add back 4 L of fuel. Then add 0.4 L of corrosion inhibitor.

5. Add 0.25 L of corrosion inhibitor to transmission-hydraulic system fill port (E).

6. Depress clutch and start engine. Run engine until it reaches operating temperature. Also raise and lower rockshaft several times. Shut off engine.

8. Add 0.5 L inhibitor to engine crankcase at filler (B).

9. Remove air intake hose at manifold. Pour 0.1 L inhibitor into manifold and replace hose. Pull hand throttle back to slow idle position. Crank engine only a few revolutions.

10. Loosen alternator/fan belt after they have cooled.

11. Remove and clean battery. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep it charged.¹
