14. Place a waterproof cover over the engine. Ensure
that the engine cover is secure. The cover should
be loose enough to allow air to circulate around
the engine to prevent damage from condensation.
15. Attach a tag with the storage date to the engine.
16. Remove the waterproof cover at 2 month or 3-
month intervals to check the engine for corrosion.
If the engine has signs of corrosion, repeat the
protection procedure.
Coolant System
Completely fill the cooling system before storage.
Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Fluid Recommendations" for more information about
coolants.
Aftertreatment
The engine must be allowed to perform a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) purge before the battery
disconnect switch is turned off. Some applications,
the engine can be equipped with delayed engine
shutdown. Allow 2 minutes after the engine has
stopped before disconnecting 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.
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 connection
are connected prior to prevent crystal from
forming.
4. Ensure that the DEF filler cap is correctly installed.
Remove Engine from Storage
1. Remove all outside protective covers.
2. Change the oil and filters.
3. Check the condition of the fan and alternator belts.
Replace the belts, if necessary. Refer to this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Belts -
Inspect/Adjust/Replace" for the correct procedure.
4. Replace the fuel filter elements.
5. Remove the plastic covers from the air cleaner
elements.
6. Use a bar or a turning tool to turn the engine in the
normal direction of rotation. The procedure
ensures that no hydraulic locks or resistance exist.
7. Before starting the engine, remove the valve cover
or covers. Put a large amount of engine oil on the
camshaft, cam followers, and valve mechanism to
prevent damage to the mechanism.

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 44
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 60 N·m (44 lb ft). 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.
