see section Taking the engine out of operation for up to 12months, subsection Preparations

for mothballing.

If the turbocharger remains attached to the engine, see section Taking the engine out of op-

u Seal all openings of the turbocharger with paraffin paper and wooden lids.

Only dry rooms with 40 ... 70 % atmospheric humidity, in which no water condensation can

form, are suitable as storage locations.
