Safety 

Latch

Measures should be taken to protect your FOCS series 
engine if the engine is not operated for a period of 30 
days or more. Proper storage will protect the engine 
from corrosion and prevent costly repairs due to storage 
induced problems.

Storage - 1 to 6 months

  1.  Start and idle the engine at a no-load condition for 

15 minutes.

  2.  Stop the engine, allow the engine to cool enough 

to safely drain the oil as shown Re-install the oil 
drain plug, then fill the crankcase with MIL-L-644-
P9 protectant oil. Fill the fuel tank with a high grade 
fuel preservative (add mix) such as STA-BIL per the 
manufacturer recommendations.

  3.  Start and operate the engine at 3/4 speed for 5-10 

minutes.

  4.  Stop  the  engine,  allow  to  cool  enough  to  safely 

drain  the  engine  oil  as  shown.  Re-install  the  oil 
drain plug.

  5.  Refill the engine with standard recommended lu-

bricating oil.

  6.  Drain the fuel tank. Remove the fuel filter. Install a 

new fuel filter.

  7.  Carefully clean all debris from the radiator fins.

  8.  Remove  the  intake  manifold.  Rotate  the  engine 

until the intake valve opens at each cylinder. Using 
suitable means, pour approximately t tsp. of engine 
oil  into  each  cylinder.  Rotate  the  engine  several 
revolutions. Spray the inside of the intake manifold 
with  SAE  10 W  oil.  Replace  the  intake  manifold 
using a new gasket.

  9.  Spray the inside of the exhaust manifold with SAE 

10W oil.

 10.  Cover all openings with tape and apply grease to 

any and all unpainted surfaces.

11.   Loosen the fan belt before wrapping the engine in 

plastic film and storing in a dry place away from 
high voltage sources and off the ground.

Storage - In excess of 6 months

Perform the storage preparation procedures approxi-
mately as detailed, except with the following changes.
  1.  Replace the oil in step 2 above with MIL-L-21260, 

grade 2, SAE 30W rustproof oil.

  2.  Delete steps 5 and 11 above.
  3.  Coat  any  and  all  unpainted  surfaces  with  MIL-C 

16173D, grade 3 anti-rust grease.

  4.  Replace anti-freeze every 2 years.
