Engine and Aftertreatment
Note: The mixture of VCI oil can be added to the inlet
by removing the plug for checking turbocharger boost
pressure. The minimum application rate for the VCI
oil mixture is 5.5 mL per L (3 oz per 1000 cu in) of
engine displacement.
7. Use a sprayer to apply a mixture of 50 percent VCI
oil and 50 percent crankcase oil into the exhaust
openings. The minimum application rate for the oil
mixture is 5.5 mL per L (3 oz per 1000 cu in) of
engine displacement. Seal the exhaust pipe and
seal any drain holes in the muffler.
8. Remove the fuel from the secondary fuel filter
housing. Alternately, empty and reinstall the spin-
on fuel filter element to remove any dirt and water.
Drain any sleeve metering fuel pump.
Clean the primary fuel filter. Fill with calibration
fluid or kerosene. Install the primary fuel filter and
operate the priming pump. This procedure will
send clean oil to the secondary filter and the
engine.
Open the fuel tank drain valve to drain any water
and dirt from the fuel tank. Apply a spray of
calibration fluid or kerosene at the rate of
30 mL per 30 L (1 oz per 7.50 gal US) of fuel tank
capacity to prevent rust in the fuel tank. Add
0.15 mL per L (.02 oz per 1 gal US) of commercial
biocide such as Biobor JF to the fuel.
Apply a small amount of oil to the threads on the
fuel tank filler neck and install the cap. Seal all
openings to the tank to prevent evaporation of the
fuel and as a preservative.
9. Remove the fuel injectors. Apply 30 mL (1 oz) of
the mixture of oils (50 percent VCI oil and 50
percent engine oil) into each cylinder.
Use a bar or a turning tool to turn over the engine
slowly. This procedure puts the oil on the cylinder
walls. Install all fuel injectors and tighten to the
correct torque. Refer to Disassembly and
Assembly Manual for more information.
10. Spray a thin amount of a mixture of 50 percent
VCI oil and 50 percent engine oil onto the following
components: flywheel, ring gear teeth, and starter
pinion. Install the covers to prevent evaporation of
the vapors from the VCI oil.
11. Apply a heavy amount of Multipurpose Grease to
all outside parts that move, such as rod threads,
ball joints, linkage.
Note: Install all covers. Ensure that tape has been
installed over all openings, air inlets, exhaust
openings, the flywheel housing, the crankcase
breathers, the dipstick tubes.
Ensure that all covers are airtight and
weatherproof. Use a waterproof weather resistant
tape such as Kendall No. 231 or an equivalent. Do
not use duct tape. Duct tape will only seal for a
short time.
12. Under most conditions, removing the batteries is
the best procedure. As an alternative, place the
batteries in storage. As needed, periodically
charge the batteries whilst the batteries are in
storage.
If the batteries are not removed, wash the tops of
the batteries until the tops are clean. Apply an
electrical charge to the batteries to obtain a
specific gravity of 1.225.
Disconnect the battery terminals. Place a plastic
cover over the batteries.
13. Remove the drive belts from the engine
14. Place a waterproof cover over the engine. Ensure
that the engine cover is secure. The cover should
be loose enough to allow air to circulate around
the engine to prevent damage from condensation.
15. Attach a tag with the storage date to the engine.
16. Remove the waterproof cover at 2 month or 3-
month intervals to check the engine for corrosion.
If the engine has signs of corrosion, repeat the
protection procedure.
Coolant System
Completely fill the cooling system before storage.
Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Fluid Recommendations" for more information about
coolants.
Aftertreatment
In some applications, the engine can be equipped
with delayed engine shutdown. Allow 2 minutes after
the engine has stopped before disconnecting the
battery disconnect switch.
The exhaust outlet of the aftertreatment must be
capped. To prevent damage to the exhaust outlet
connection during storage, the weight of the CEM
must not act on the exhaust outlet.
Remove Engine from Storage
1. Remove all outside protective covers.
2. Change the oil and filters.
