8A.19 ENGINE STORAGE
Use the following procedures immediately when
engine is removed from service for an extended
period. The instructions for the use of Perkins
POWERPART products are given on the outside of
each container.
1. Clean outside of engine.
2. Where a preservative fuel is to be used, drain
the fuel system and fill with the preservative
fuel. POWERPART Lay-Up 1 can be added to
the normal fuel to change it to a preservative
fuel. If preservative fuel is not used, the
system can be kept charged with normal fuel
but this will have to be drained and discarded at
the end of the storage periods together with the
fuel filter.
3. Run the engine until it is warm. Correct any
fuel, lubricating oil or air leakage. Stop the
engine and drain the lubricating oil sump.
4. Replace the lubricating oil filter canister.
5. Fill the sump to the FULL mark on the dip stick
with clean new lubricating oil or with an ap-
proved preservative fluid. POWERPART Lay-
Up 2 can be added to the lubricating oil to
protect against corrosion. If a preservative
fluid is used, this must be drained and normal
lubricating oil used when the engine is returned
to service.
6. Drain the cooling system as described in
paragraph 8A.10.1. To give protection against
corrosion, it is better to fill the cooling system
with a coolant that has a corrosion inhibitor
(see paragraph 8A.10.1). If frost protection is
needed, use an antifreeze mixture. If no frost
protection is needed, use water with an ap-
proved corrosion inhibitor mixture.
7. Run the engine for a short period to send the
lubricating oil and coolant around the engine.
8. Clean out the engine breather pipe (where
fitted) and seal the end of the pipe.
9. Remove the fuel injectors and spray POWER-
PART Lay-Up 2 into each cylinder bore. If this
is not available, clean engine lubricating oil will
give a degree of protection. Spray into cylinder
bores 1/4 pint (118,3 ml) of lubricating oil
divided evenly between the four cylinders.
10. Slowly turn crankshaft one revolution and then
install the fuel injectors complete with new seat
washers.
11. Remove the air filter and any pipe installed
between the air filter and induction manifold or
turbocharger. It is recommended that the spray
time for the turbo charger is 50 percent longer
than the manifold spray time. Spray
POWERPART Lay-Up 2 into the induction
manifold or turbocharger. Seal the manifold or
turbocharger with waterproof tape.
12. Remove the exhaust pipe. Spray POWER-
PART Lay-Up 2 into the exhaust manifold or
turbocharger. It is recommended that the spray
time for the turbo charger is 50 percent longer
than the manifold spray time. Seal the mani-
fold or turbocharger with waterproof tape.
13. Remove the lubricating oil filler cap. Spray
POWERPART Lay-Up 2 around the rocker
shaft assembly. Replace the filler cap.
14. Disconnect the batteries and put them into safe
storage in a fully charged condition. Before the
batteries are put into storage, give the battery
terminals a protection against corrosion.
POWERPART Lay-Up 3 can be used on the
terminals.
15. Seal the vent pipe of the fuel tank or the fuel
filler cap with waterproof tape.
16. Remove the fan belt and put it into storage.
17. To prevent corrosion, spray the engine with
POWERPART Lay-Up 3. Do not spray the
inside of the alternator cooling fan area.
NOTE: Before the engine is started after a period
in storage, operate the starter motor with one of the
fuel run solenoids wires disconnected until oil
pressure shows on the oil pressure gauge or the
warning light goes out.
If the engine protection is done correctly according
to the above recommendations, no corrosion
damage will normally occur. Perkins Engines Ltd.
and JLG are not responsible for any damage that
occurs in relation to a service storage period.
