1. Clean the engine of any dirt, rust, grease, and oil.
Inspect the exterior. Paint areas that contain paint
damage with a good quality paint.
2. Remove dirt from the air cleaners. Check all seals,
gaskets, and the filter element for damage.
3. Apply lubricant to all points in this Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval
Schedule".
4. Drain the crankcase oil. Replace the crankcase oil
and change the oil filters. For the proper
procedure, refer to this Operation and
Maintenance Manual.
5. Add VCI oil to the crankcase oil. The volume of
VCI oil in the crankcase oil should be 3 to 4
percent.
Note: If the engine crankcase is full, drain enough
engine oil so the mixture can be added.
6. Remove the air filter elements. Turn the engine at
cranking speed with the throttle control in FUEL
OFF position. Use a sprayer to add a mixture of 50
percent VCI oil and 50 percent engine oil into the
air inlet or turbocharger inlet.
Note: The mixture can be added to the inlet by
removing the plug on the air inlet elbow on the left
side of the engine. The minimum application rate for
the VCI oil mixture is 5.5 mL per L
(3 oz per 1000 cu in) of engine displacement.
7. Use a sprayer to apply a mixture of 50 percent VCI
oil and 50 percent crankcase oil into the exhaust
openings. The minimum application rate for the oil
mixture is 5.5 mL per L (3 oz per 1000 cu in) of
engine displacement. Seal the exhaust pipe and
seal any drain holes in the muffler.

fluid or kerosene. Install the primary fuel filter and
operate the priming pump. This procedure will
send clean oil to the secondary filter and the
engine.
Open the fuel tank drain valve in order to drain any
water and dirt from the fuel tank. Apply a spray of
calibration fluid or kerosene at the rate of
30 mL per 30 L (1 oz per 7.50 gal US) of fuel tank
capacity in order to prevent rust in the fuel tank.
Add 0.15 mL per L (.02 oz per 1 gal US) of
commercial biocide such as Biobor JF to the fuel.
Apply a small amount of oil to the threads on the
fuel tank filler neck and install the cap. Seal all
openings to the tank in order to prevent
evaporation of the fuel and as a preservative.
9. Remove the fuel injectors. Apply 30 mL (1 oz) of
the mixture of oils (50 percent VCI oil and 50
percent engine oil) into each cylinder.
