TNV Operation Manual
1. Perform the next Preventive Maintenance
procedure. For example, if there are 10 hours
remaining before the 250 hour maintenance,
you should do the maintenance before you
place the engine in storage.
See the Periodic
Maintenance Schedule on page 73 .
2. Flush the radiator and refill with Long Life
Engine Coolant. For engine coolant
specifications
see Engine Coolant
Specifications on page 41 and for the
procedure for draining and refilling the cooling
system see
Filling Radiator With Engine
Coolant on page 42 .
3. Clean the exterior of the engine so it is free of
grease and oil.
4. Drain the fuel tank or make sure it is
completely full. See Filling The Fuel Tank on
page 34 .
5. Lubricate exposed parts of the engine speed
control system.
6. Protect the air cleaner, muffler and electrical
components (alternator, starter motor,
switches) from water and dust.
7. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable to
prevent the battery from discharging.
8. Check the battery fluid and add distilled water

to six months.
RETURNING THE ENGINE TO
SERVICE
1. Perform the Daily Checks on page 44 .
2. The engine should be pre-oiled before
startup. Crank the engine, leaving the fuel
system shut off so the engine will not start, for
15 seconds. Then pause for 30 seconds.
Repeat the procedure until you have cranked
the engine for a total of one minute. This will
circulate the oil in the engine’s lubrication
system.
3. Prime the fuel system. See Priming The Fuel
System on page 36 .
4. Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle for
approximately 15 minutes while you check for:
• Proper oil pressure
• Fuel, engine oil, or coolant leaks
• Proper operation of the indicators and / or
gauges.
5. Avoid prolonged operation at minimum or
maximum engine speeds and loads for the
remainder of the first hour of operation.
