• Add to clean, fresh gasoline the correct

amount of stabilizer for the capacity

(approximately 6 gallons) of the fuel system.

• Fill the fuel tank with treated fuel and run the

engine for 2-3 minutes to get stabilized fuel

into the carburetor.

Emptying the fuel system:

• Prior to putting the tractor in storage, monitor

fuel consumption with the goal of running the

fuel tank empty.

• If a large volume of fuel is left-over, the fuel

line can be disconnected at the fuel filter and

the leftover fuel drained into an approved

container.

• Run the engine until it begins to stall. Use the

choke to keep the engine running until all fuel

in the carburetor has been exhausted.

• Place a small container or rag beneath the

carburetor bowl drain and loosen the drain

screw to completely drain the fuel from the

carburetor. See Figure 52.

3. Clean the engine and the entire tractor

thoroughly.

4. Drain and flush the cooling system. Refill with a

minimum 50/50 antifreeze and water coolant

solution. Use a higher percentage of antifreeze

if the tractor will be subjected to temperatures

below minus 30° F.

5. 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 stor-

age.

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.

6. Lubricate all lubrication points.

7. 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

• Check the engine oil and coolant levels.

• Fully charge the battery and inflate the tires to

the recommended pressure.

• Start the engine and allow to idle for a few

minutes to ensure engine is operating properly.

• Drive the tractor without a load to make certain

all the tractor systems are functioning properly.
