PREPARING THE ENGINE FOR A LONG PERIOD
OF INACTIVITY
In the case of a planned period of inactivity that lasts longer
than two months, to prevent the interior parts of the
engine and some components of the injection system from
oxidizing, prepare the engine as follows:
1. Drain the lubricant oil from the sump after heating the
engine.
2. Pour 30/M protective oil into the engine up to the
“minimum” level indicated on the oil level dipstick. Start
the engine and run it for approx. 5 min.
3. Drain the fuel from the injection circuit, from the filter
and from the injection pump channels.
4. Connect the fuel circuit to a tank containing CFB
protective liquid (ISO 4113) and introduce the liquid by
pressurizing the circuit and driving the engine for
approx. 2 min. after excluding injection system
operation.
The operation required can be completed by directly
polarizing terminal 50 of the electric starter motor with
positive voltage equal to that of the nominal system voltage,
using the designated conductor.
5. Nebulize the 30/M protective oil in a quantity of
approx. 130 g (10 g per liter of displacement) in the
turbocharger intake inlet, during the engine turning
operation described in the previous paragraph.
6. Close all of the engine’s intake, discharge, ventilation
and bleeding holes with plugs or seal them with
adhesive
tape.
7. Drain the residual 30/M protective oil from the sump,
which can be used for an additional 2 preparations.
8. Place warning notices of ENGINE WITHOUT OIL on the
engine and dashboard.
NOTE: When storing in cold regions, make sure the
coolant and engine oil are in conditions suitable to the
environment. Also, when starting the engine after it has
been stored, make sure that there is no snow or foreign
matter that could interfere with engine startup, and
rotating parts are not frozen.
