OUT-OF-SERVICE PROTECTION
The natural lubricating qualities of
No.

diesel fuel
should protect a diesel engine for at least 30-days
when unit is not in service. To protect an engine that
will be out of service for more than 30 days, proceed
as follows:

1.
Remove cover and all protective wrapping.
Re-
move plug from exhaust outlet.
2.
Check warning tag on oil base and verify that
oil
viscosity is still correct for existing ambient tem-

Shut down engine and drain oil base while still
warm. Refill and attach a warning tag indicating
viscosity of oil used.
Remove glow plugs. Pour l-ounce of rust inhibi-
tor (or SAE #10
oil)
into each cylinder. Install
To
distribute oil in cylinder,
crank (or turn over) engine by
hand. Starter cranking is too fast; oil or inhibitor

if
cranked with starter at normal
room temperature.
Service air cleaner per
Maintenance Schedule.
Clean throttle and governor linkage and protect
by wrapping with a clean cloth.
Plug exhaust outlets to prevent entrance of mois-
ture, bugs, dirt, etc.
Clean and wipe entire unit. Coat parts susceptible
to rust with a light coat of grease or oil.
Disconnect battery and follow standard battery
storage procedure.
glow plugs.
3. Clean and check battery. Measure specific grav-
ity (1

at
77"
F
[25OC]) and verify level is at split
ring. If specific gravity is low, charge until correct
value is obtained. If level is low, add distilled
water and charge until specific gravity is correct.
DO
NOT
OVERCHARGE.
lgnition of explosive battery
gases might cause severe per-
sonal injury. Do not smoke while servicing batter-
ies.
4.
Check that fuel injectors and fuel lines are secure
and correctly torqued.
5.
Clean heat exchanger.
6.
Connect batteries.
7.
Verify that no loads are connected to engine.

lnhalation of exhaust gases
might result in serious personal
injury or death. Be sure deadiy exhaust gas is
piped outside and away from windows, doors, or
other inlets to building.
8.
Start engine.
After engine has started, excessive amount
of
blue smoke will
be exhausted until the rust inhibitor or oil has burned away.
Accidental starting of the engine
might cause severe personal injury
or death. Disconnect the battery cable when repairs
are made to the engine, controls, or generator.
