Batteries
Remove the batteries for trickle charging at a charging station
(this does not apply to batteries which are maintenance-free
according to the manufacturer).
The same applies to short-term storage, even if the engine has
not been prepared for storage as above.
Wear gloves and protective goggles when charging and handling bat-
teries. The batteries contain a highly corrosive acid.
Storage
After the preparations, the engine should be stored in a dry and
warm place (room temperature).
When the Engine is to be Taken Into Operation Again
• Remove plugs and tape from coolant connections, air
intakes and exhaust pipes.
• Fill the cooling system with coolant. For more information
refer to Inspections.
• Check the oil level in the engine or top up with fresh engine
oil.
• Lubricate the valve mechanisms and their pushrods and
valve tappets as well as the injector mechanisms with
plenty of oil.
• Drain the preservative fuel from the fuel manifold and fuel
filter.
• Connect and bleed the fuel system. For more information
refer to the section headed Inspection.
• Wash off any preservative oil on the outside using white
spirit.
