Your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor can assist in preparing the engine for extended storage periods. Condition for Storage The engine must be stored in a water proof building. The building must be kept at a constant temperature. Engines that are filled with Perkins ELC will have coolant protection to an ambient temperature of −36° C (−32.8° F). The engine must not be subjected to extreme variations in temperature and humidity. Storage Period An engine can be stored for up to 6 months provided all the recommendation are adhered to. NOTICE Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Only load the eyebolts and the brackets under tension. Remember that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the angle between the supporting members and the object becomes less than 90 degrees. When it is necessary to remove a component at an angle, only use a link bracket that is properly rated for the weight. Use a hoist to remove heavy components. Use an adjustable lifting beam to lift the engine. All supporting members (chains and cables) should be parallel to each other. The chains and cables should be perpendicular to the top of the object that is being lifted. Some removals require lifting the fixtures in order to obtain proper balance and safety. ToremovetheengineONLY,usetheliftingeyesthat are on the engine. Lifting eyes are designed and installed for specific engine arrangements. Alterations to the lifting eyes and/or the engine make the lifting eyes and the lifting fixtures obsolete. If alterations are made, ensure that proper lifting devices are provided. Consult your Perkins dealer for information regarding fixtures for proper engine lifting. Storage Procedure Keep a record of the procedure that has been completed on the engine. Note: Do not store an engine that has biodiesel in the fuel system. 1. Ensure that the engine is clean and dry. a. If the engine has been operated using biodiesel, thesystemmustbedrainedandnewfilters installed. The fuel tank will require flushing. b. Fill the fuel system with an acceptable fuel. For more information on acceptable fuels refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid recommendations”. Operate the engine for 15 minutes in order to remove all biodiesel from the system. 2. Drain any water from the primary filter water separator. Ensure that the fuel tank is full. 3. The engine oil will not need to be drained in order to store 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.
SEBU8325-01 21 Operation Section Lifting and Storage 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 refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual. Monthly Checks The crankshaft must be rotated in order 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. Ensure that the engine is covered completely before storage. Log the procedure in the record for the engine.
