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 one of the plugs shown in illustration 89
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
DEF has a limited life, refer to table 17 for the time
and temperature range. DEF that is outside this
range MUST be replaced.
On removal from storage the DEF quality in the tank
must be tested with a refractometer. The DEF in the
g06042459
tank must meet the requirements defined in ISO
22241-1 and comply with table 17 .
1. If necessary, drain the tank and fill with DEF that
meets ISO 22241-1.
2. Replace the DEF filter, refer to this Operation, and
Maintenance Manual, "Diesel Exhaust Fluid Filter-
Clean/Replace".
3. 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. Start the engine. If a fault becomes active
turn off the engine, allow 2 minutes for the DEF
system to purge, then restart the engine.
4. If the fault continues to stay active, refer to
Troubleshooting for more information.
