StoragePreparing Engine for Long Term StorageThe following storage preparations are used for longterm engine storage up to one year. After that, theengine should be started, warmed up, and retreatedfor an extended storage period.IMPORTANT: Any time your engine will not beused for over six (6) months, thefollowing recommendations forstoring it and removing it fromstorage will help to minimizecorrosion and deterioration.1. Change engine oil and replace filter. (For all except3029TF270 engines, see CHANGE ENGINE OILAND FILTER in Lubrication and Maintenance/250Hour/6 Month Section. For 3029TF270 engines, seethe 500 Hour/12 Month section.) Used oil will notgive adequate protection. Add one (1) ounce of rustpreventive oil to the engine crankcase for everyquart of oil. This rust preventive oil should be anSAE 10 oil with 1-4 percent morpholine orequivalent vapor corrosion inhibitor.2. Service air cleaner. (See REPLACING AIRCLEANER FILTER ELEMENTS in Service AsRequired Section.)3. Draining and flushing of cooling system is notnecessary if engine is to be stored only for severalmonths. However, for extended storage periods of ayear or longer, it is recommended that the coolingsystem be drained, flushed, and refilled. Refill withappropriate coolant. (See RECOMMENDEDENGINE COOLANT in Fuels, Lubricants, andCoolant Section and ADDING COOLANT in ServiceAs Required Section.)4. Pour three (3) ounces of rust preventive oil into theturbocharger intake. (It may be necessary totemporarily install a short intake elbow on theturbocharger inlet to receive the oil.)5. Prepare a tank with a solution of diesel fuel andrust preventive oil, at ten (10) ounces of rustpreventive oil per gallon of diesel fuel.6. Remove existing lines/plugs as required, and run atemporary line from the tank to the engine fuelintake, and another temporary line from the fuelreturn manifold to the tank, so rust preventive oilsolution is circulated through the injection systemduring cranking.7. Crank the engine several revolutions with starter(do not allow the engine to start). This will allowrust preventive oil solution to circulate.8. Remove temporary lines installed in Step 6 above,and replace any lines/plugs previously removed.NOTE: One gallon of fuel/oil solution can be used totreat 100 engines; two gallons to treat 200engines, etc. The oil could then be replenishedby adding an additional five (5) ounces of rustpreventive oil per gallon of solution. However,starting over with a new solution isrecommended to dispose of any water or otherimpurities.9. Loosen, or remove and store, fan/alternatorpoly-vee belt.10. Remove and clean batteries. Store them in a cool,dry place and keep them fully charged.11. Disengage the clutch for any driveline.12. Clean the exterior of the engine with salt-freewater and touch up any scratched or chippedpainted surfaces with a good quality paint.13. Coat all exposed (machined) metal surfaces withgrease or corrosion inhibitor if not feasible to paint.14. Seal all openings on engine with plastic bags andtape.15. Store the engine in a dry protected place. Ifengine must be stored outside, cover it with awaterproof canvas or other suitable protectivematerial and use a strong waterproof tape.OUOD006,0000003–19–01JUN06–1/155-2 060106PN=138
