Chapter 9 LONG-TERM STORAGE

Storing the engine in an inoperable condition for 3
months or more

Preparation for storage

Drain the engine oil in-use, pour new oil.

Prepare a fuel mixture containing 50 % rust-preventive oil (NP-9), and fill the fuel tank with it.

Run the engine at low idling speeds for 5 to 10 minutes.

Immediately before stopping the engine, spray volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) through the inlet port to prevent

rust on the air intake system.

With the engine stopped, drain the fuel mixture from the fuel tank.

Apply rust-preventive oil (NP-3) liberally on the exposed sections of the machining.

Seal the air inlet, exhaust outlet, breather and other openings with an adhesive cloth tape.

Loosen the belt.

Wrap adhesive cloth tape on the terminals of the starters and alternator, and seal the openings. Cover these sec-

tions with polyethylene sheet or processed polyethylene paper, and place desiccants in the polyethylene covers.

10.

Disconnect the cables from the battery terminals, and charge the battery. Clean the terminals, apply a thin coat

of grease to the terminals, and store the battery in a cool and dry room.

11.

Cover the whole engine.

Note: (a) Store the engine in a well-ventilated indoor area.

(b) It is not necessary to drain coolant since it contains LLC. (LLC must be specified concentration. For LLC

concentration, refer to

"LLC concentration" (6-5)

the engine for the first time after storage.

Recommended rust-preventive oil and corrosion inhibitor

Maintenance during storage

Charge the battery once a month. First, check the battery electrolyte for proper level and then charge the battery.

If the engine has been left unattended for 3 months or more, the internal engine parts can rust, and that may cause

damage to the engine.

When storing the engine for an extended period of time, be sure to follow the directions below.

Table 9-1 Recommended rust-preventive oil and corrosion inhibitor
