TURBO GP-BASIC 10R0364 - Caterpillar

If the engine will not be started for several weeks, the lubricating oil will drain from the cylinder walls and from the piston rings. Rust can form on the cylinder liner surface. Rust on the cylinder liner surface will cause increased engine wear and a reduction in engine service life.To help prevent excessive engine wear, use the following guidelines:
Complete all the lubrication recommendations that are listed in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval Schedule" (Maintenance Section).
If freezing temperatures are expected, check the cooling system for adequate protection against freezing. See this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and Recommendations" (Maintenance Section).If an engine is out of operation and if use of the engine is not planned, special precautions should be made. If the engine will be stored for more than 1 month, a complete protection procedure is recommended.Ensure that the outlets on the Clean Emission Module (CEM) are capped Ensure that the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injector connections are capped.To prevent damage to the exhaust outlet connection during storage, the weight of the CEM must not act on the exhaust outlet.For more detailed information on engine storage, see Special Instruction, SEHS9031, "Storage Procedure For Caterpillar Products".Your Cat dealer can help in preparing the engine for extended storage periods.Aftertreatment
The engine must be allowed to perform a DEF purge before the battery disconnect switch is turned off. Some applications, the engine can be equipped with delayed engine shutdown. Allow 2 minutes after the engine has stopped before disconnecting the battery disconnect switch.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 Tank Storage
Ensure normal engine shutdown, allow the DEF to be purged. Do not disconnect the battery disconnect switch, allow 2 minutes after key off before disconnection.
Fill the tank with DEF that meets all the requirement defined in ISO 22241-1.
Ensure that all DEF lines and electrical connection are connected prior to prevent crystal from forming.
Ensure that the DEF filler cap is correctly installed.Removal from Storage
DEF has a limited life, refer to table 1 for the time and temperature range. DEF that is outside this range MUST be replaced.On removal from storage the DEF quality in the tank must be tested with a refractometer. The DEF in the tank must meet the requirements defined in ISO 22241-1 and comply with table 1.
If necessary, drain the tank and fill with DEF that meets ISO 22241-1.
Replace the DEF filter, refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Diesel Exhaust Fluid Filter-Replace".
Ensure that the drive belt is correctly installed. Ensure that all engine coolant and engine oil has the correct specification and grade. Ensure that the coolant and the engine oil are at the correct level. Start the engine. If a fault becomes active turn off the engine, allow 2 minutes for the DEF system to purge, then restart the engine.
If the fault continues to stay active, refer to Troubleshooting for more information.
