R
Leave the engine running until the air com-
pressor cutoff pressure is reached.
R
Fuel prefilter with heated water separator:
drain off the water separator.
R
Recharge the batteries every three months.
Check the battery fluid levels before and
after charging.
R
Change the engine oil and oil filter every
24 months.
Measures prior to decommissioning
R
Empty the fuel tank and fill up with new fuel.
When disposing of fuels, observe the rele-
vant national laws and regulations.
R
Fuel prefilter with heated water separator:
replace filter element.
R
Replace fuel filter.
R
Replace air filter cartridge.
R
Change engine oil and oil filter.
R
Check coolant level.
R
If coolant needs refilling, check and adjust
the concentration of anticorrosion/anti-
freeze in the coolant. Before refilling cool-
ant, note the quality of the previously filled
anticorrosion/antifreeze (Y page 48).
R
Check the charge status of the battery and
recharge if necessary. Check the battery
fluid levels before and after charging.
R
Connect the earth lines to the batteries.
R
Check that the electrical system is func-
tioning correctly.
R
Check cables, hoses and lines for tears and
leaks.
R
Start the engine and leave it running for
15 to 30 minutes at an engine speed of
no more than 900 rpm.
R
While the engine is running, observe the
indicators for oil pressure, coolant temper-
ature and oil temperature.
R
Vehicles with auxiliary heating: activate the
auxiliary heating.
R
Check oil levels in the steering system,
engine, transmission and drive axles.
R
Check that the electrical system, steering
system and brakes are functioning cor-
rectly.
R
Clean the engine/vehicle/equipment thor-
oughly.
Protecting the engine
Engine protective treatment applies to all fit-
ted and
removed vehicle, industrial and OEM
engines as well as new engines, recondi-
tioned engines and short block engines.
Engines that have been removed must be pro-
tected against moisture (rain or spray water)
using special measures.
Protective treatment for up to 12
months
On new engines no additional protection
measures are
required, as long as initial oper-
ation oil compliant with Sheet 225.6 and cool-
ant were added at the engine factory. Engines
which have covered a distance of up to
300 km or which have been operated for up
to 6 hours may be considered new.
R
Clean the engine thoroughly and remove
patches of corrosion.
R
All machined exterior and unpreserved sur-
faces must be greased or sprayed with
preservative agent according to Sheet
385.4. This is regardless of the duration of
the protective treatment. Examples of this
are the flywheel and pulley keyway.
R
Where possible, carry out protective meas-
ures on the fitted engine in the storage
location.
R
After protective measures are complete,
the engine must not be started again.
R
Engine oil and coolant must be filled to the
maximum level. Observe the temperature
ranges when selecting engine oil and cool-
ant.
