MACHINE STORAGE
RESTORING ENGINE TO SERVICE
1. Remove the valve rocker cover(s) and pour at
least one-half gallon of oil, of the same grade as
used in the crankcase, over the rocker arms and
push rods.
2. Reinstall the valve rocker cover(s).
3. Remove the covers and tape from all of the
openings of the engine, fuel tank, and electrical
equipment. Do not overlook the exhaust outlet.
4. Wash the exterior of the engine with fuel oil to
remove the rust preventive.
5. Remove the rust preventive from the flywheel.
6. Remove the paper strips from between the pul-
leys and the belts.
7. Check the crankcase oil level. Fill the crank-
case to the proper level with the heavy-duty lubri-
cating oil recommended under Lubricating Oil
Specifications.
8. Fill the fuel tank with the fuel specified under
Diesel Fuel Oil Specifications.
9. Close all of the drain cocks and fill the engine
cooling system with clean soft water and a rust
inhibitor. If the engine is to be exposed to freezing
temperatures, add a high boiling point type anti-
freeze solution to the cooling system (the anti-
freeze contains a rust inhibitor).
10 Install and connect the battery.
11. Service the air cleaner as outlined under Air
System.
12. Prepare the generator for starting.
13. Remove the inspection hole cover and inspect
the clutch release lever and link pins and the
bearing ends of the clutch reliease shaft. Apply
engine oil sparingly, if necessary to these areas.
14. After all of the preparations have been com-
pleted, start the engine. The small amount of
rust preventive compound which remains in the
fuel system will cause a smoky exhaust for a few
minutes.
NOTE: Before subjecting the engine to a load or
high speed, it is advisable to check the engine
tune-up.
