ADAPTER 6D4597 - Caterpillar

Coolant System
Completely fill the cooling system before storage.Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and Recommendations" for more information about coolants.Removal from Storage
Remove all outside protective covers.
Change the oil and filters.
Check the condition of the fan and alternator belts. Replace the belts, if necessary. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Belts - Inspect/Adjust/Replace" for the correct procedure.
Replace the fuel filter elements.
Remove the plastic covers from the air cleaner elements.
Use a bar or a turning tool in order to turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation. The procedure ensures that no hydraulic locks or resistance exist.
Before starting the engine, remove the valve cover or covers. Put a large amount of engine oil on the camshaft, cam followers, and valve mechanism in order to prevent damage to the mechanism.
Pressure lubricate the engine before starting the engine. Pressure lubricating the engine ensures immediate lubrication and prevents damage to the engine during the first few minutes of engine operation. If the engine is not equipped with a prelube pump, contact your Cat dealer for information about lubrication of the engine before starting the engine.
Check the condition of all rubber hoses. Replace any worn hoses. Replace any damaged hoses.
Before start-up, test the cooling system for a 3 percent ro a 6 percent concentration of coolant conditioner. Add liquid coolant conditioner or a coolant conditioner element, if equipped. Test the coolant mixture for proper nitrite level. If necessary, adjust the coolant mixture.Prime the engine with clean diesel fuel before starting.
Ensure that the cooling system is clean. Ensure that the system is full. Ensure that the system has the correct amount of supplemental cooling system conditioner.
On the first day of operation, check the entire engine several times for leaks and correct operation.
If the engine was removed from storage in which temperatures of less than -12°C (10°F) were encountered, refer to Service Manual, SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendations Operation and Maintenance". Generator
Storage (Less Than One Year)
When a generator is in storage, moisture condenses in the windings. To minimize condensation, always place the generator in a dry storage area. Seal all openings with tape.If a brush-type generator (SRCR) is being stored, lift the brushes off the slip ring to prevent chemical damage to the slip ring. Attach a tag to the generator which states that the brushes have been lifted. Perform a resistance check of the windings. Record this reading. This check is done in order to provide a base line for determining whether moisture or winding deterioration occurs during storage.Removal From Storage
Remove all protective covers. Reseat the brushes on the slip ring for SRCR generators.Before start-up of a generator, use a megohmmeter to check insulation resistance for moisture and/or foreign material. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Generator Start-up Check List" for the procedure. A resistance reading of 1 megohm or less indicates that the winding has absorbed too much moisture.Use one of the following methods for drying the generator in order to remove moisture which is caused by high humidity
