7.15 Long Term Storage
The following routine should be carried
out when it is known that the engine will not
be required for 6 months.
If the procedure is not carried out the
engine should be run on full load for ap-
proximately 45 minutes once a month.
CAUTION
As a direct result of combustion, the lu-
bricating oil may contain harmful acids.
It should not be left in the sump if it is
known that the engine will not be used
for extended periods.
Preparing the Engine for Storage
a. Replace the fuel in the tank with a small
supply of suitable inhibition fluid.
b. Drain the lubricating oil from the sump
and refill with new oil.
c. Run the engine for a period to circulate
the oil through the system and to ensure
the inhibition fluid is passed through the
fuel pumps and injectors.
d. Stop the engine and drain the lubricating
oil from the sump.
The crankshaft should NOT be turned
until the engine is again required for
service.
The inhibition fluid should be left in the
fuel system.
e. Seal all openings on the engine with
tape.
f. Remove the batteries and store them
fully charged after coating the terminals
with petroleum jelly.
g. Grease all external bright metal parts
and the speed control linkage.
h. Tie labels on the engine clearly stating
what steps have been taken to inhibit
the engine during storage.
Returning the Engine to Service
Refer to the appropriate sections for the
relevant detailed instructions as neces-
sary to complete this work.
a. Remove the tie-on labels and all the
protective coverings from openings and
apertures.
b. Fill the fuel tank.
c. Refill the lubricating oil sump with new
oil of the correct specification and viscos
-
ity.
d. Remove the batteries from store. If they
are still fully charged reconnect them to
the engine.
Coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.

oil leaks before applying load.
