Putting out of service
When not using the generating set for a longer period it is
recommended to execute an engine preservation
procedure.
1
Clean the engine.
2
Loosen the fuel suction pipe and fuel return and put
them in a can with preservation diesel fuel. Start the
engine and run the engine warm.
3
Drain the hot engine oil and refill with preservation oil.
4
Stop the engine.
5
The coolant can stay in the engine
6
Disconnect the battery and store it in a place free of
frost and dry and charge it regularly.
7
Close inlet- and outlet openings with tape.
8
Protect the generating set against the influences of
bad weather conditions.
This method of preservation will be sufficient for 6 months.
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4, every 6 months. Change oil
before using the engine again.
