The durability and effectivity of a preservation is determined by the following components:
• implemented preservation measures
• implemented package
• maximum period of storage
Only the careful implementation and tuning of these measures ensures a sufficient protection of the
engine and the fittings.
The various climates of the relevant storage locations and/or destinations as well as the intended
peroid of storage determines the kind and scope of the measures for a short term preservation or
long term preservation.
Attention:
Some components are to be disassembled and consequently reassembled for a
preservation! The disassemble and reassemble work is always to be carried out or
monitored by by skilled mashine personnel!
Short term preservation: A short tern preservation (A3.09.01.nn) is to be carried out for a shut
down of the engine with following storage of up to 2 months in
national or Central European areas. It is also suitable for a possibly
necessary road transport within Central Europe.
Long term preservation: A long term preservation (A3.09.02.nn) is to be carried out, if the
engine is shut down for longer than 2 months, but not longer than
1 year and stored within national or Central European areas. These
measures apply as well for a possibly necessary transport on board
(under deck) of seagoing ships into similar international areas!
Attention:
The measures for preservation for subtropical or tropical areas are to be coordinated with
Caterpillar / MaK according to the destination and storage location and the intended period
of storage!
