8. If an engine is stored for more than 1 year, Perkins
recommends Pre lubrication of the engine to avoid
dry starting. Use a suitable pump to put engine oil
into the engine oil system.
The pump will need to create a minimum pressure
within the engine of 0.25 bar (3.6 psi). This
pressure is needed for 15 seconds to lubricate the
internal surfaces.
Remove the plug (1) shown in illustration23 to
connect to the engine oil system. The connection
required is 9/16" x 18 tpi. Ensure that the correct
oil specification is used, refer to this Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "Fluid Recommendations"
for more information. After the engine internal
surfaces have been lubricated, remove connector
and install plug (1). Tighten plug to a torque of
30 N·m (265 lb in). Perkins recommends that the
procedure must be performed in a minimum
ambient temperature of 10° C (50° F).
9. Check the condition of all rubber hoses. Replace
any worn hoses. Replace any damaged hoses.
10. Before start-up, test the cooling system for a 3
percent to a 6 percent concentration of coolant
conditioner. Add liquid coolant conditioner or a
coolant conditioner element, if equipped.
Test the coolant mixture for proper nitrite level. If
necessary, adjust the coolant mixture.
Prime the engine with clean diesel fuel before
starting.
11. Ensure that the cooling system is clean. Ensure
that the system is full. Ensure that the system has
the correct amount of supplemental cooling
system conditioner.
12. On the first day of operation, check the entire
engine several times for leaks and correct
operation.
Remove Aftertreatment from Storage
Ensure that the drive belt is correctly installed.
Ensure that all engine coolant and engine oil has the
correct specification and grade. Ensure that the
coolant and the engine oil are at the correct level.
