Engine and Aftertreatment
Your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor can
help with preparing the engine for extended storage
periods.
In some applications, the engine can be equipped
with delayed engine shutdown. Allow at least 2
minutes after the engine has stopped before you turn
the battery disconnect switch to OFF. Disconnecting
the battery power too soon will prevent purging of the
DEF fluid lines after the engine is shut down. Also,
during the 2 minutes the engine electronic control
module is active storing information from the engine
and aftertreatment sensors.
Condition for Storage
The engine must be stored in a water proof building.
The building must be kept at a constant temperature.
Engines that are filled with Perkins ELC will have
coolant protection to an ambient temperature of
−36° C (−32.8° F). The engine must not be subjected
to extreme variations in temperature or humidity.
Storage Period
An engine can be stored for up to 6 months provided
all the recommendations are adhered to.
Storage Procedure
Keep a record of the procedure that has been
completed on the engine.
Nota: Do not store an engine that has biodiesel in the
fuel system.
1. Ensure that the engine is clean and dry.
a. If the engine has been operated using
biodiesel, the system must be drained and new
filters installed. The fuel tank will require
flushing.
b. Fill the fuel system with an ultra low sulfur fuel.
For more information on acceptable fuels refer
to this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Fluid Recommendations". Operate the engine
for 15 minutes to remove all biodiesel from the
system.
2. Drain any water from the primary filter water
separator. Ensure that the fuel tank is full.
3. The engine oil will not need to be drained to store
the engine. Provided the correct specification of
engine oil is used the engine can be stored for up
to 6 months. For the correct specification of engine
oil refer to this Operation and Maintenance
Manual, "Fluid Recommendations".
4. Remove the drive belt from the engine.
Sealed Coolant System
Ensure that the cooling system is filled with the
correct specification of coolant. Refer to this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid
Recommendations".
Open Cooling System
Ensure that all coolant drain plugs have been
opened. Allow the coolant to drain. Install the drain
plugs. Place a vapor phase inhibitor into the system.
The coolant system must be sealed once the vapor
phase inhibitor has been introduced. The effect of the
vapor phase inhibitor will be lost if the cooling system
is open to the atmosphere.
For maintenance procedures refer to this Operation
and Maintenance Manual.
Monthly Checks
The crankshaft must be rotated to change the spring
loading on the valve train. Rotate the crankshaft
more than 180 degrees. Visibly check for damage or
corrosion to the engine and aftertreatment.
Ensure that the engine and aftertreatment are
covered completely before storage. Log the
procedure in the record for the engine.
Aftertreatment
The engine must be allowed to perform a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) purge before the battery
disconnect switch is turned off. In some applications,
the engine can be equipped with delayed engine
shutdown. Allow 2 minutes after the engine has
stopped before using 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.
DEF Tank Storage
1. Ensure normal engine shutdown, allow the DEF to
be purged. Do not disconnect the battery
disconnect switch, allow 2 minutes after key off
before disconnection.
2. Fill the tank with DEF that meets all the
requirement defined in ISO 22241-1.
3. Ensure that all DEF lines and electrical
connections are reconnected prior to storage, to
prevent DEF crystals from forming.
4. Ensure that the DEF filler cap is correctly installed.
