STORING MACHINE Preparing Engine For Storage Storing Machine Storing Safely NOTE: Properly preparing your tractor engine for storage will make it easier to start the following season. Engine storage procedure should be used if vehicle is not used for longer than 60 days. There are two satisfactory methods of preparing the engine for storage: running the engine completely dry of fuel, or filling the fuel tank with a mixture of fresh fuel and fuel stabilizer.
STORING MACHINE 7. Clean the engine and engine compartment. 8. Remove battery. 9. Clean the battery and battery posts. NOTE: The stored battery should be recharged every 90 days. 10.Charge the battery. (See Charging Battery in the SERVICE - ELECTRICAL section.) 11.Store the battery in a cool, dry place where it will not freeze. 12.Store the vehicle in a dry, protected place. If vehicle is stored outside, put a waterproof cover over it. Removing Machine From Storage 1. Check tire pressure.
