Caution
A machine with conserved engine must be clearly
marked by attaching a clear warning label.
i
Note
Depending on weather conditions these conservation
measures will protect the machine for approx. 6 to 12
months.
Before taking the machine back into service you must
drain off the conservation oil and replace it with engine
oil (see table of fuels and lubricants) according to API-
(MIL-) classification.
Anti-corrosion oils are all oils which comply with the
specification MIL-L-21260 B or TL 9150-037/2 o Nato
Code C640/642.
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 corrosion:
l
Clean engine and cooling system: With cold cleans-
ing agent and water jet or, even better, with steam
cleaning equipment.
l
Run the engine warm and shut it down.
l
Drain the still warm engine oil and fill in anti-corro-
sion engine oil.
l
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank.
l
Remove the cylinder head covers, spray the rocker
chambers with anti-corrosion oil. Then fasten the
covers again.
l
Unscrew both spark plugs and spray anti-corrosion
oil through the spark plug openings. Crank the en-
gine several times and install the spark plugs again.
l
Close air intake on air filter and exhaust opening
tightly.
