Preparing your tractor for winter storage

To prepare your tractor for off-season storage:

1. If the tractor is charging, disconnect the charger.
2. Clean radiator covers to remove any debris.
3. Wash the tractor with soap and water, including the roof and the underbody. Do not use a pressure washer.
4. Check bolts and nuts for looseness and tighten if needed.
5. Remove any ballast weights installed on the front of the tractor.
6. Add air to the tires, increasing the pressure so the psi is higher than usual:
   • Front Left without ballast: 45psi
   • Front Right without ballast: 45psi
   • Rear left: 20psi-25psi (Dependent on presence of inner ballast)
   • Rear right: 20psi-25psi (Dependent on presence of inner ballast
7. Clean and lubricate grease fittings using a grease gun.
8. Remove the toolbox to access the 12V battery. First, switch the battery off. Then remove the ground cable from the battery.
9. Jack the tractor up and place jack stands under the front and rear axles so that all four tires are off the ground.
10. Store the tractor indoors in a dry area that is protected from sunlight and heat. If the tractor must be stored outdoors, cover it with a waterproof tarp.

To start up your tractor after storage:

1. Reinstall the 12V battery ground cable. Switch the battery on.
2. Connect the charger to the tractor. Charge the tractor for 24 hours (ideally) or at least several hours before you’re planning to use it.
3. Once the tractor has been charged enough to power it on, spool up the tractor.
4. Check for firmware and software updates to Wingspan AI. Accept all updates allow them to install.
   
   • Note: If the tractor doesn’t have a strong connection to Wingspan in its storage location, you may need to drive the tractor to a better location to install updates.
5. Check hydraulic fluid level and coolant add any if needed.
6. Check tire air pressure and add air if tires are low.
7. Jack the tractor up, then remove the jack stands from the front and rear axles.
