- Equip the engine with a clear notice giving the date of preservation
and stating that the engine must not be started or cranked.
Batteries
Remove the batteries for maintenance charging in the charging station. (Does
not apply to batteries which, according to the manufacturer, are maintenance-
free). The same applies even for short periods of disuse, even if the engine is
not stored as above.
Storage
After the preparations, the engine should be stored in a dry, warm environ-
ment (room temperature).
Taking out of storage
(action when the engine is taken into operation)
- Remove plugs and tape from coolant connections, air intakes and
exhaust pipes.
- Fill the cooling system with coolant, see page 6.
- Check the oil level in the engine and top up with new oil.
- Crank the engine several revolutions with the injectors removed, oiling
the valve mechanism, pushrods and tappets with plenty of oil.
Important! The engine must be cranked with the injectors removed so that
excess preservative oil can be forced out of the cylinders.
- Fit the injectors.
- Drain the fuel system’s main filter of preservative fuel.
- Bleed the fuel system.
- Wash off externally applied preservative oil using white spirit.
