Preservation of lubrication and fuel systems for storage exceeding 8 months:
•
Drain the oil from the engine and fill it with pre-
serving oil* to just over the MIN marking on the
dipstick.
•
Connect the suction and return fuel lines to a
container filled with 1/3 preservation oil* and
2/3 diesel fuel.
•
Bleed the fuel system.

Start the engine and operate at a high idle
speed until approximately two liters have been
used. Shut off the engine and connect the nor-
mal fuel lines.
