SECTION 6 – LONG TERM STORAGE
General Information
To maintain warranty coverage, engines intended to be taken
out of service or stored 30 days or longer require the following
procedures.
these procedures are also recommended for
engines outside of warranty to assure maximum engine life:
•
Maintain a “Full” fuel tank with the addition of diesel fuel
stabilizer to minimize microbial growth within the fuel
system. Run engine long enough to allow the fuel stabilizer
to enter the entire fuel system. If the engine is utilized in a
mobile application drive vehicle to mix the stabilizer in the
fuel tank.
•
Before storage replace engine fuel filter(s) and drain all
water separators of any water.
•
Every 30 days or less, run engine until full operating
temperature has been maintained.
•
Before storage, change the engine oil and filter with
the appropriate engine oil for conditions the engine will
experience during storage.
•
Cover air intake ducts to prevent moisture and debris
intrusion during storage.
•
Cover vertical exhaust stack.
•
Check the battery charge and recharge if needed.
Disconnect the battery cables between batteries and
between the batteries and vehicle. If freezing temperatures
are expected, remove batteries and store in an area with
temperature above freezing.
If battery removal is not
required (warm climate) maintain the battery charge every
30 days.
•
Test the cooling system, additive levels and coolant freeze
protection. Coolant freeze protection must be set below the
coldest anticipated temperature during storage.
