Preparing The Engine For Operation After Protective Treatment - Kohler KD 625/2 Workshop Manual

PREPARING THE ENGINE FOR OPERATION AFTER PROTECTIVE TREATMENT

After the storage period and before starting up the engine and preparing it for operation, you need to perform certain operations
to ensure maximal efficiency conditions.
1 - Remove the protective sheet.
2 - Remove any sealing devices from the exhaust and intake ducts.
3 - Use a cloth soaked in degreasing product to remove the protective treatment from the external parts.
5 - Inject lubricating oil (no more than 2 cm3) into the intake ducts.
6 - Adjust the alternator/fan belt tension (if present).
7 - Turn the engine manually to check the correct movement and smoothness of the mechanical parts.
8 - Refill the tank with fresh fuel.
9 - Make sure that the oil is up to the maximum level.
10 - Start the engine and after some minutes bring it to ¾ of the maximum speed for 5-10 minutes.
11 - Turn off the engine.
12 - Remove the oil drain plug (see "Oil replacement") and discharge the AGIP RUSTIA NT protective oil while the engine is hot.
13 - Pour new oil (see "Table of lubricants") up to the maximum level.
14 - Replace the filters (air, oil, fuel) with original spare parts.
Caution - Warning
Over time, a number of engine components and lubricants lose their properties, so it is important considering
whether they need replacing, also based on age (see Replacement table).
Important
Maximum every 24 months of inactivity, the engine must be started up by repeating all "Engine Storage" opera-
tions.
