11. Power Take-Off— (If equipped)—
Follow the manufacturer's recom-
mendations for prolonged storage.
12. Turbocharger—Since turbocharg-
er bearings are pressure lubricated
through the external oil line leading
from the oil filter adapter while the
engine is operating, no further atten-
tion is required. However, the tur-
bocharger air inlet and turbine outlet
connections should be sealed off
with moisture-resistant tape.
NOTICE:
Failure to properly seal off turbo-
charger air inlet and exhaust outlet
openings before engine storage may
permit air drafts to circulate through
the turbocharger and rotate the tur-
bine/compressor shaft without an
adequate flow of lubricating oil to the
center housing bearings. This can
result in severe bearing damage.
13. Apply a non-friction rust preventive
compound to all exposed engine
parts. If convenient, apply the rust
preventive compound to the engine
flywheel. If not, disengage the clutch
mechanism to prevent the clutch
disc from sticking to the flywheel.
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.
14. Drain the engine cooling system.
15. Drain the preservative oil from the
engine crankcase. Reinstall and
tighten the 3/4"-14 square, magnet-
ic drain plug to 45-50 N•m (33-37
lb-ft) torque.
16. Remove and clean the battery and
battery cables with a baking soda-
water solution and rinse with fresh
water. Do not allow the soda solu-
tion to enter the battery. Add dis-
tilled water to the electrolyte (if
necessary) and fully charge the bat-
tery. Store the battery in a cool
(never below 0°C or 32°F) dry place.
Keep the battery fully charged and
check the level and specific gravity
of the electrolyte regularly.
17. Insert heavy paper strips between
the pulleys and drive belts to prevent
sticking.
18. Seal all engine openings including
the exhaust outlet, with moisture-
resistant tape. Use cardboard, ply-
wood or metal covers where
practical.
19. Clean and dry the exterior painted
surfaces of the engine and spray
with a suitable liquid automobile
body wax, a synthetic resin varnish,
or a rust preventive compound.
20. Protect the engine with a good
weather-resistant tarpaulin and store
it under cover, preferably in a dry
building which can be heated during
the winter months.
