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 Perkins
ELC, or an antifreeze that meets "ASTM D6210"
specification.
Open Cooling System
Ensure that all cooling 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 ref to this Operation
and Maintenance Manual.
Aftertreatment
No special procedures are required. The exhaust
inlet and outlet of the aftertreatment should be
capped. Before storing, the engine and the
aftertreatment must be enclosed in a cover.
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.
