4.3.2 Putting out of service
When not using the generating set for a longer period it is
recommended to execute an engine preservation
procedure.
1 Clean the engine.
2 Loosen the fuel suction pipe and fuel return and put
them in a can with preservation diesel fuel. Start the
engine and run the engine warm.
3 Drain the hot engine oil and refill with preservation oil.
4 Stop the engine and take loose the inlet of the raw
water pump. Drain the water from the water lock.
Crank the engine having the raw water inlet sucking
anti freeze from a can until the pump, heat exchanger
and manifold are filled.
5 The coolant can stay in the engine
6 Disconnect the battery and store it in a place free of
frost and dry and charge it regularly.
7 Close inlet- and outlet openings with tape.
8 Protect the generating set against the influences of
bad weather conditions.
This method of preservation will be sufficient for 6 months.
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4, every 6 months. Change oil
before using the engine again.
