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. Run engine until thoroughly warm; under at least
50
percent load.
2.
Shut down engine and drain oil base while still
warm. Refill and attach a warning tag indicating
viscosity of
oil
used.
3. Remove glow plugs. Pour 1-ounce of rust
in-
hibitor (or SAE #10 oil) into each cylinder. Install
Crank engine by hand only
to
distribute

oil in cylinder. Starter cranking is too
fast: oil or inhibitor fluid will fire if cranked with starter at
normal room temperature.

Unit
to
Service.
1.
Remove cover and all protective wrapping.
Remove plug from exhaust outlet.
2.
Check warning tag on oil base and vertify that oil
viscosity is still correct for existing ambient
temperature.
3. Clean and check battery. Measure specificgravity
(1.260
at
77"
F
[25"
C]) 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.
Change secondary fuel filter
General overhaul (if required)

Do not smoke while servicing batteries.
Explosive gases are emitted from
batteries
in
opeation. Ignition
of
these gases can causesevere
personal injury.
4.
Check that fuel injectors and fuel lines are secure,
correctly torqued.
5.
Clean radiator.
6.
Connect batteries.
7.
Verify that no loads are connected to engine.
8.
Start engine.
After engine has started, excessive blue smoke will be
exhausted until the rust inhibitor or oil has burned away.
Before commencing any maintenance work
on the engine, controls, or associated equlp-
ment, disconnect batteries. Failure to do

NOTE
1.
Water or foreign material in fuel can ruin the injection
system. If daily inspection shows water or excessive dirt
in sediment bowl fuel, handling and storing facilities
should be checked and situation corrected. Primary and
secondary fuel filters must be replaced following correc-
tion of fuel contamination problem.
2.
This service must be conducted by trained diesel
injection equipment personnel with suitable test
facilities. Omit this service
until
these conditions can be
met.
3.
Tighten head bolts and adjust valve clearance after first
