Product Storage
(Engine and Aftertreatment)
Perkins are not responsible for damage which may
occur when an engine is in storage after a period in
service.
Your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor can
assist in preparing the engine for extended storage
periods.
Before disconnecting the battery disconnect switch,
g03674679 purging of the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system
must take place. Disconnecting the battery power too
soon may prevent purging of the DEF fluid system.
