Cleaning and Storage
Thoroughly clean the entire machine, especially the mud from the undercarriage and tracks. Park it indoors or on dry, flat, and solid ground. If parked outdoors, cover it with a waterproof tarp and ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup.

Fluid Management
Drain all water from the engine cooling system or refill it with antifreeze. Fill the fuel system with diesel to prevent condensation from forming on the inner walls of the fuel tank. For the hydraulic system, retract all cylinder piston rods fully and apply grease to exposed parts to prevent rust.

Regular Startup
Start the engine every 2–4 weeks and let it run for a period to lubricate all systems. This also helps recharge the battery and prevents components from rusting or seals from deteriorating.
