Lifting and Storage
•
Renew the canister(s) of the lubricating oil
fi
lter.
•
Fill the oil pan to the Full Mark on the engine oil
level gauge with new, clean lubricating oil. Add
1762811
POWERPART Lay-Up 2 to the oil in
order to protect the engine against corrosion. If
1762811
POWERPART Lay-Up 2 is not available,
use a preservative of the correct speci
fi
cation
instead of the lubricating oil. If a preservative is
used, this must be drained completely at the end of
the storage period and the oil pan must be re
fi
lled
to the correct level with normal lubricating oil.
Cooling System
To help prevent excessive engine wear, use the
following guidelines:
NOTICE
Do not drain the coolant while the engine is still hot and
the system is under pressure because dangerous hot
coolant can be discharged.
If freezing temperatures are expected, check the
cooling system for adequate protection against
freezing. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance
Manual, “Fluid Recommendations” (Maintenance
Section).
NOTICE
To prevent frost damage, ensure that all the coolant is
removed from the engine. This is important if the sys-
tem is drained after it has been
fl
ushed with water, or if
an antifreeze solution too weak to protect the system
from frost has been used.

Typical example
1.
Ensure that the vehicle is on level ground.
2.
Remove the
fi
ller cap of the cooling system.
3.
Remove the drain plug (1) from the side of the
cylinder block in order to drain the engine. Ensure
that the drain hole is not restricted.
4.
Open the tap or remove the drain plug at the
bottom of the radiator in order to drain the radiator.
If the radiator does not have a tap or a drain plug,
disconnect the hose at the bottom of the radiator.
5.
Flush the cooling system with clean water.
6.
Fit the drain plugs and the
fi
ller cap. Close the tap
or connect the radiator hose.
7.
Fill the cooling system with an approved antifreeze
mixture because this gives protection against
corrosion.
Note:
Certain corrosion inhibitors could cause
damage to some engine components. Contact the
Service Department of Perkins for advice.
8.
Operate the engine for a short period in order to
circulate the lubricating oil and the coolant in the
engine.
9.
Disconnect the battery. Put the battery into safe
storage in a fully charged condition. Before the
battery is put into storage, protect the terminals
against corrosion.
1734115
POWERPART
Lay-Up 3 can be used on the terminals.
10.
Clean the crankcase breather if one is installed.
Seal the end of the pipe.
11.
Remove the fuel injectors and spray
1762811
POWERPART Lay-Up 2 for one or two seconds
into each cylinder bore with the piston at BDC.
12.
Slowly rotate the crankshaft for one complete
revolution and then replace the fuel injectors.
Induction System
•
Remove the air
fi
lter assembly. If necessary,
remove the pipes that are installed between
the air
fi
lter assembly and the turbocharger.
Spray
1762811
POWERPART Lay-Up 2 into the
turbocharger. The duration of the spray is printed
on the container. Seal the turbocharger with
waterproof tape.
