A - Air Cleaner

B - Cooling System

C - Engine Oil Drain Plug

D - Engine Oil Filter

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 Service 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 (AR41870).

   Fuel Injection Pump

   A - Fuel Tank Filler Cap

   B - Engine Oil Filler

   C - Boot

   D - Fuel Shut-off Solenoid Wiring Lead

   Add 0.5 L more inhibitor to fuel tank at filler cap (A).

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

9. Remove boot (C) and disconnect fuel shut-off solenoid wiring lead (D). This will prevent engine from starting while cranking.

10. 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.

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

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

13. Tie or block clutch pedal in the disengaged position.

14. Coat exposed bare (no paint) metal surfaces with grease or a corrosion inhibitor (AR41870).
