Preparing the engine for storage
Preparing the engine for
storage
If the engine is not being used for an extended
period its cooling system, fuel system and com-
bustion chamber and outside must be protected
against rust.
An alternative to preparing the engine for long-
term storage is to start the engine and warm it up
every 6 months.
Handling the engine
The engine can normally stand idle for up to 6
months without preparation. For longer periods
of downtime, the following measures should be
taken. These measures provide protection for ap-
proximately 4 years.
Preparations for storage:
1.
Thoroughly clean the engine.
2.
Run the engine for a specific period using
special preservative fuel, oil and coolant.
3.
Otherwise prepare the engine for storage (fil-
ter renewal, lubrication, etc.).
If the engine is equipped with an SCR system:
The reductant in the SCR system is perishable. If
it is not used, its quality can deteriorate over
time. The reductant tank and the system should
be drained if there are longer periods of down-
time.
Reductant is a highly corrosive fluid which must
not come into contact with materials which are
sensitive to corrosion.
Rinse off reductant spillages with plenty of wa-
ter.
If reductant seeps into electrical connections or
electrical cables, these must be renewed.
