Care for long period of storage

WARNING

For stowage over a long period of time, remove the
battery from the tractor and remove the main key.
Otherwise, an accident may occur.

CAUTION

Lock the clutch pedal for stowage over a long period of
time. Otherwise, an accident may occur.
If the tractor is not to be used over a lengthy period of
time, take the following maintenance:

(1)

Place the tractor in a well ventilated place and

remove the weight or other attachments. Remove the
implement or lay it down on a wooden plate.

(A) Good ventilation

(2)

Coat the exposed metallic parts with anti-rusting

oil, engine oil or grease.

(3)

Fill the tank with fuel oil. Otherwise, moisture will

develop in the tank and cause rust. Put the fuel cock
in the CLOSE position.

(4) Fully charge the battery. It is recommended to

detach the battery from the tractor and keep it in a
dark cool place. If the battery is kept on the main
body, disconnect the ground line (negative lead).

(5) Remove the cooling water.
(6) Cover the opening of the air cleaner, muffler or

engine oil port with a polyethylene bag or the like to
prevent the moisture from getting in.

To prevent the clutch from being rusted, fully

depress the clutch pedal and put on the clutch pedal
lock.

Fill the front and rear tires with air to normal

pressure.

The periodic check and inspection during stowage over

PERIODIC INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

Check or maintenance should be done with the tractor
fixed on the flat ground, free from normal traffic. Pay
attention not to topple the tractor. Put blocks to the
wheels.

Replace the fuel pipes and power steering hoses
every 2 years. Otherwise, an accident or machine
damage may result.

person nearby leading to a serious injury.

Periodic inspection and maintenance in off-season will
ensure the preferable conditions of your tractor. To keep
your machine working in good conditions, ask your
service shop for a regular inspection every year.

It is recommended to replace fuel pipes, rubber hoses,
and electrical wires every two years.
