Engine Storage
If the engine is not started for a month or longer the
lubricating oil will drain from the cylinder walls and
from the piston rings. Rust can form on the cylinder

engine wear and a reduction in engine service life.
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.

engine is not planned for more than one month, a
complete protection procedure is recommended.
To help prevent excessive engine wear and corrosion
