If the tractor is not going to be in service for over 2 months,
for example  for operational reasons, it must be placed in a
well-ventilated, clean and dry room and the following
measures must be carried out.

-

Clean the tractor thoroughly.

-

Check the hydraulic oil levels, topping up oil if neces-
sary

-

Cover all blank mechanical components with a thin
film of oil or grease.

-

Grease the tractor.

-

Check the condition and acid density of the battery;
cover the battery terminals with non-acidic grease.
(Observe the instructions of the battery manufactur-
er.)

-

Remove the battery and store in a frost-free, dry
room.

-

Clean the engine.

-

Switch off the engine.

-

Turn the engine over a few times by hand.

ATTENTION
The tractor must be blocked up so that all
the wheels are off the ground to prevent a
permanent deformation of the tires.

NOTE
Do not use plastic foil to cover the tractor as
this enhances the formation and collection
of condensate water.

If the tractor was taken out or service for over six months,
it must be inspected carefully before being put back in
service. The inspection should, similar to the safety
inspection, also cover all safety points of the tractor.

-

Lubricate the tractor.

Check the condition and acid density of the battery,
recharging it if necessary.
