Engine conservation
If the engine is to be shut down for a longer period of time (e.g.
over winter), we recommend the following measures to avoid cor-
rosion:
Clean engine and cooling system: With cold cleansing agent
and water jet or, even better, with steam cleaning equipment.
Run the engine warm and shut it down.
Drain the still warm engine oil and fill in anti-corrosion engine
oil.
Drain and catch the fuel from the fuel tank, mix it well with
10% anti-corrosion oil and fill it back in. Instead of mixing the
fuel with anti-corrosion oil you may also fill the tank with
injection pump testing oil with anti-corrosive properties (e.g.
Calibration fluid B).
Then run the engine for 10 minutes, so that lines, filter, pump
and nozzles are filled with the conserving mixture and the
new engine oil is distributed to all parts.
Take the cylinder head cover off, spray the rocker chamber
with a mixture of diesel fuel and 10% anti-corrosion oil. Then
fasten the cover again.
Crank the engine several times to spray the combustion
chamber (throttle lever in stop position).
Take the V-belt off and spray the grooves of the V-belt pulleys
with anti-corrosion oil. Remove the anti-corrosion oil before
taking the machine back into service.
Close air intake on air filter and exhaust opening tightly.
Depending on weather conditions these con-
serving measures will provide protection for
approx. 6 - 12 months.
The conserving oil must be replaced by engine oil
according to the API- (MIL) classification before
taking the machine into service.
Anti-corrosion oils are those that comply with the
MIL-L-21260 or TL 9150-037/2 resp. Nato Code C
640/642.
NOTICE!
A machine with conserved engine must be clearly
marked by attaching a clear warning tag.
