2. Preparation for Storage
When a generator set is to be stored or removed from operation, special precautions should be taken
to protect the internal and external parts from rust, corrosion, and gumming in the engine fuel system.
a. General
(1) The unit should be prepared for storage as soon as possible after being removed from service.
(2)
The unit should be stored in a building which is dry and which may be heated during winter
months.
(3) Moisture absorbing chemicals are available for use where excessive dampness is a problem,
however the unit must be completely packaged and sealed if moisture absorbing chemicals are
to be effective.
b. Temporary Storage
When storing the unit for 30 days or less, prepare as follows:
(1)
Lubricate the unit completely in accordance with instructions in Sect. 2-1. This will include
changing engine oil, and all filter elements.
(2) Start the engine and operate for about two minutes so that all internal engine components will
be coated with new oil.
NOTE: Do not drain the fuel system or crankcase after this run.
(3) Make certain the cooling system antifreeze solution is adequate to protect below the lowest
temperatures expected during the storage period. See 2-1; Para. 7, D. Be sure the solution is
thoroughly mixed.
