5.5 Long Term Storage
Preparing the Engine for Storage
The following routine should be carried out when it is known
that the engine will not be required for some months.
If the following procedure is not carried out the engine should
be run on full load for approximately 45 minutes once a
month.
CAPTION
As a direct result of combustion the lubricating oil may
contain harmful acids and therefore it should not be left
in the sump if it is known engine will not be used for
extended periods.
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 necessary to complete this work.
a. Remove the tie-on labels and all the protective coverings
from openings and apertures.
b. Check the drive belt for deterioration and correct tension.
c. Fill the fuel tank.
d. Refill the lubricating oil sump with new oil of the correct
specification and viscosity.
e. Remove the batteries from store. If they are still fully charged
reconnect them to the engine.
Coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.
f. Start the engine and check for fuel and oil leaks before
applying load.
