disconnect the battery if you can (no alarm etc...) or it will end up flat

Make sure you store it with a full tank of Diesel.

servicing is a good idea, but not essential.

get the GF to start it every couple of weeks if she's able and let it run for 10 minutes.

(i'm in the army and have been for nearly 20 years. It's agreat job mate you'll enjoy it.)
