8.
Start the engine and run it at low idling for
approximately 20-25 minutes if the coordi-
nator allows it. If it is not possible to run at
idling, run the engine at approx. 1,500 rpm
without load.
9.
Detach the hose to the solenoid valve return
connection. Continuously spray preservative
oil into the inlet pipe until white smoke is ob-
served in the exhaust gases for at least
8 seconds.
10.
Switch off the engine and refit the hose to the
magnet valve return connection.
11.
Drain the coolant if the engine is not to be
stored with coolant in the system. Plug and
tape all coolant connections if the engine is
to be stored without coolant in the cooling
system.

Renew the filter elements in the air cleaner.
13.
Cover the air intake and exhaust pipe.

Spray the outside of the alternator and starter
motor with water-repellent anti-corrosive
oil: CRC 226, LPS1 or equivalent.
15.
Spray the outside of bright engine parts, first
with penetrating preservative oil such as
Dinitrol 25B and then with Dinitrol 112 or
the equivalent.
16.
Detach the fuel hose from the throttle at the
gas mixer.
17.
Spray the outside of the throttle with water-
repellent anti-corrosive oil, for example
LPS1 or equivalent. Make sure that the oil
reaches the holes for the throttle shaft in the
throttle housing.

Clearly mark the engine with the storage
preparation date, and state that the engine
must not be started or cranked.
