DEFERRED START-UP ENGINE INSPECTION AND
PROTECTION
4/6
CAUTION
Before starting up engines that have been protected this way (especially gas engines), it will be necessary
to inspect the combustion chambers and drain waste protective oil.
Dry the inside of the
exhaust manifold
and the
camshaft
housing, if found humid during inspection. Spray
KOHLER
MOTOROIL PROTECTOR on the camshaft and, only in case of humidity, into the exhaust
manifold.
Spray a thin coat of TECTYL 506 or similar rust-preventive oil on the
unpainted machined surfaces
that will
remain exposed, out of the engine (such as, for instance, the flywheel, etc.).
Hermetically seal all the flanged elbows or inlet and outlet ports of the
intake, exhaust, cooling and
lubricating
systems with plastic, rubber or similar plugs or films.
Apply
KOHLER
MOTOROIL PROTECTOR with a brush to the
control linkage and ball joints
.
Fit the
electric and electronic components
with connectors, protectors and caps, if missing. Put
all leads
and cables
in plastic bags. Also, apply TECTYL 506 or any similar substance to any components showing
signs of rust damage.
7. PACKING OF DEFERRED START-UP ENGINES
These instructions apply to engines with damaged packaging or unpacked. Packing deferred start-up engines
implies the steps that follow.
Spread
bags of desiccant
evenly over the surface to be packed. The number of bags will be proportional to
the volume of the package.
Cover the engine with
heat-shrinkable plastic film
and heat-seal it. Protect all sharp edges to prevent
damage to the plastic film. The wrapping must cover the machine entirely and be sealed at the bottom.
The wrapping must enable lifting the engine without breaking; for this purpose, make
holes
in the wrapping as
follows. In the event of 6 or 12-cylinder engines, make two holes on both sides and one hole at each end; in
the event of 8 or 16-cylinder engines, make three holes on both sides and one hole at each end. Additionally,
the wrapping must have a
window
to gain access to the engine
nameplate
.
Write the date inspected, protected and packed on the engine's packaging sticker.
