If an engine is not used, oil can run off the following parts that normally receive lubrication: cylinder walls, piston rings, main bearings, connecting rod bearings, crankshaft and gears.This lack of lubricant allows corrosion to begin to appear on the metal. This condition is worse in areas of high humidity.When the engine is started again, metal to metal contact will cause wear before the surfaces receive oil. To minimize this wear, use the starter to turn the engine with the throttle in the FUEL OFF position. When oil pressure is shown on the pressure gauge, start the engine.
Clean the engine of any dirt, rust, grease, and oil. Inspect the exterior. Paint areas that contain paint damage with a good quality paint.
Remove dirt from the air cleaners. Check all seals, gaskets, and the filter element for damage.
Apply lubricant to all points in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval Schedule".
Drain the crankcase oil. Replace the crankcase oil and change the oil filters. For the proper procedure, refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual.
If the engine is equipped with an air starting motor, fill the reservoir with the following mixture: 50 percent volatile corrosion inhibitor oil (<nomen>VCI oil</nomen>) and 50 percent engine oil.
Add VCI oil to the crankcase oil. The volume of VCI oil in the crankcase oil should be 3 to 4 percent. Note: If the engine crankcase is full, drain enough engine oil so the mixture can be added.
Remove the air filter elements. Turn the engine at cranking speed with the throttle control in FUEL OFF position. Use a sprayer to add a mixture of 50 percent VCI oil and 50 percent engine oil into the air inlet or turbocharger inlet. Note: The mixture of VCI oil can be added to the inlet by removing the plug for checking turbocharger boost pressure. The minimum application rate for the VCI oil mixture is 5.5 mL per L (3 oz per 1000 cu in) of engine displacement.
Use a sprayer to apply a mixture of 50 percent VCI oil and 50 percent crankcase oil into the exhaust openings. The minimum application rate for the oil mixture is 5.5 mL per L (3 oz per 1000 cu in) of engine displacement. Seal the exhaust pipe and seal any drain holes in the muffler.
Remove the fuel from the secondary fuel filter housing. Alternately, empty and reinstall the spin-on fuel filter element in order to remove any dirt and water. Drain any sleeve metering fuel pump. Clean the primary fuel filter. Fill with calibration fluid or kerosene. Install the primary fuel filter and operate the priming pump. This procedure will send clean oil to the secondary filter and the engine.Open the fuel tank drain valve in order to drain any water and dirt from
