5. Install new lubricating oil filters. Fill the crankcase to the proper level with
Tectyl® 930A preservative lubricating oil or an equivalent 30-weight
preservative lubricating oil meeting Mil-L-21260C, Grade 2 Specification.
NOTE: If engines are stored where condensation of water in the fuel tank
may be a problem, additives containing methyl carbitol or butyl cellusolve
may be added to the fuel. Follow manufacturer's instructions for treatment.
Where biological contamination of fuel may be a problem, add a biocide
such as Biobor® JF (or equivalent) to the fuel. When using a biocide, follow
the manufacturer's concentration recommendations and observe all
cautions and warnings.
6. Drain the fuel tank. Refill with enough clean No. 1 diesel fuel to permit the
engine to operate for about ten (10) minutes. If draining the fuel tank is not
convenient, use a separate, portable supply of recommended fuel.
7. Drain the fuel system and remove the fuel filters. Dispose of used filters in
an environmentally responsible manner, according to state and/or federal
(EPA) recommendations. Fill the new filters with No. 1 diesel fuel or pure
kerosene and install on the engine.
8. Operate the engine for five (5) minutes to circulate the clean fuel throughout
the engine. Be sure the engine fuel system is full.
9. Stop the engine and allow to cool. Then disconnect the fuel return line and
the inlet line at the primary filter and securely plug both to retain the fuel in
the engine.
10. Transmission: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for prolonged
storage.
11. Power Take-Off: If equipped, follow manufacturer's recommendations for
prolonged storage.
NOTE: Failure to properly seal off the turbocharger air inlet and exhaust
outlet openings before engine storage may permit air drafts to circulate
through the turbocharger and rotate the turbine/compressor shaft without an
adequate flow of lubricating oil to the center housing bearings resulting in
severe bearing damage.
12. Turbocharger: Since turbocharger bearings are pressure lubricated through
the external oil line leading from the oil filter adaptor while the engine is
operating, no further attention is required. However, the turbocharger air inlet
and turbine exhaust outlet connection should be sealed off with moisture-
resistant tape.
NOTE: Do not apply oil, grease or any wax-base compound to the flywheel.
The cast iron will absorb these substances, which can sweat out during
operation and cause the clutch to slip.
