SERIES 40 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE
To avoid injury from
fl
ying debris
when using compressed air, wear
adequate eye protection (face
shield or safety goggles) and do
not exceed 40 psi (276 kPa) air
pressure.
6. Clean the exterior of the engine
(except electrical parts) with fuel
oil and dry with compressed air.
7. Seal all engine openings,
including the turbocharger air
and exhaust outlets and the
valve cover/intake manifold
opening. The material used
must be waterproof, vaporproof
and possess suf
fi
cient physical
strength to resist puncture and
damage from the expansion of
entrapped air.
An engine prepared in this manner can
be returned to service in a short time
by removing the seals at the engine
openings and reconnecting piping; by
checking the engine coolant, fuel oil,
lubricating oil and transmission oil
levels; and by priming the fuel system
before starting.

2. Circulate the coolant by operating
the engine until normal operating
temperature is reached.
3. Stop the engine.
4. With the engine at ambient
temperature and cool to the touch,
drain the engine crankcase oil
into a suitable container. Remove
the oil
fi
lter. Dispose of the oil
and
fi
lter in an environmentally
friendly manner, according
to state and/or federal (EPA)
recommendations. Replace the
oil drain plug and tighten to 45 –
50 N·m (33 – 37 lb-ft) torque.
5. Install a new lubricating oil
fi
lter. Fill the crankcase to
the proper level with Tectyl®
930A preservative lubricating
oil or an equivalent 30–weight
preservative lubricating oil
meeting Mil-L-21260C, Grade 2
Speci
fi
cation.
