Packing Of Deferred Start-Up Engines - Kohler SFGLD480 Operation & Maintenance Manual

CAUTION
Before starting up engines that have been protected this way (especially gas engines), it will be necessary
to inspect the combustion chambers and drain waste protective oil.
Dry the inside of the exhaust manifold and the camshaft housing, if found humid during inspection. Spray

KOHLER MOTOROIL PROTECTOR on the camshaft and, only in case of humidity, into the exhaust
manifold.
Spray a thin coat of TECTYL 506 or similar rust-preventive oil on the unpainted machined surfaces that will

remain exposed, out of the engine (such as, for instance, the flywheel, etc.).
Hermetically seal all the flanged elbows or inlet and outlet ports of the intake, exhaust, cooling and

lubricating systems with plastic, rubber or similar plugs or films.
Apply KOHLER MOTOROIL PROTECTOR with a brush to the control linkage and ball joints.

Fit the electric and electronic components with connectors, protectors and caps, if missing. Put all leads

and cables in plastic bags. Also, apply TECTYL 506 or any similar substance to any components showing
signs of rust damage.

7. PACKING OF DEFERRED START-UP ENGINES

These instructions apply to engines with damaged packaging or unpacked. Packing deferred start-up engines
implies the steps that follow.
Spread bags of desiccant evenly over the surface to be packed. The number of bags will be proportional to

the volume of the package.
Cover the engine with heat-shrinkable plastic film and heat-seal it. Protect all sharp edges to prevent

damage to the plastic film. The wrapping must cover the machine entirely and be sealed at the bottom.
The wrapping must enable lifting the engine without breaking; for this purpose, make holes in the wrapping as

follows. In the event of 6 or 12-cylinder engines, make two holes on both sides and one hole at each end; in
the event of 8 or 16-cylinder engines, make three holes on both sides and one hole at each end. Additionally,
the wrapping must have a window to gain access to the engine nameplate.
Write the date inspected, protected and packed on the engine's packaging sticker.
