Condition for Storage
The engine must be stored in a water proof building. The building must be kept at a constant temperature. Engines that are filled with Cat ELC will have coolant protection to an ambient temperature of −36° C (−32.8° F). Do not subject the engine to extreme variations in temperature and humidity.Storage Period
An engine can be stored for up to 6 months provided all the recommendation are adhered to.Storage Procedure
Keep a record of the procedure that has been completed on the engine.Note: Do not store an engine that has biodiesel in the fuel system.
Ensure that the engine is clean and dry.
If the engine has been operated using biodiesel, the system must be drained and new filters installed. The fuel tank will require flushing.
Fill the fuel system with an ultra low sulfur fuel. For more information on acceptable fuels refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid recommendations". Operate the engine for 15 minutes to remove all biodiesel from the system.
Drain any water from the primary filter water separator. Ensure that the fuel tank is full.
The engine oil will not need to be drained to store the engine. Provided the correct specification of engine oil is used the engine can be stored for up to 6 months. For the correct specification of engine oil refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid recommendations".
Remove the drive belt from the engine.Sealed Coolant System
Ensure that the cooling system is filled with Cat ELC, or an antifreeze that meets "ASTM D6210" specification.Open Cooling System
Ensure that all cooling drain plugs have been opened. Allow the coolant to drain. Install the drain plugs. Place a vapor phase inhibitor into the system. The coolant system must be sealed once the vapor phase inhibitor has been introduced. The effect of the vapor phase inhibitor will be lost if the cooling system is open to the atmosphere.For maintenance procedures ref to this Operation and Maintenance Manual.Monthly Checks
The crankshaft must be rotated to change the spring loading on the valve train. Rotate the crankshaft more than 180 degrees. Visibly check for damage or corrosion to the engine and aftertreatment.Ensure that the engine and aftertreatment are covered completely before storage. Log the procedure in the record for the engine.Aftertreatment
The engine must be allowed to perform a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) purge before the battery disconnect switch is turned off. Disconnecting the battery power too soon may prevent purging of the DEF fluid system. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Battery Disconnect Switch" for more information.The exhaust outlet of the aftertreatment must be capped. To prevent damage to the exhaust outlet connection during storage, the weight of the CEM must not act on the exhaust outlet.DEF in Tank Storage
DEF should be drained and replenished if the application is left idle for 2 months or longer at 40° C (104° F).
DEF should be drained and replenished if the application is left idle for 4 months or more at 25° C (77° F)
Ensure normal engine shutdown, allow the DEF to be
