Storage Procedure
1. Clean the outside of the engine and repaint areas that have paint damage with a good quality paint.2. Remove the batteries and use them in some other place or put them in storage where they can be checked and electrically charged again when needed. If the batteries are not removed, wash the tops. Put an electrical charge to the battery to a specific gravity of 1.275. Disconnect the battery terminals. Put a plastic cover over the battery.3. Loosen all fan, alternator belts, etc. Attach a tag to indicate what work has been done.4. Put a waterproof cover over engines with enclosures stored outdoors. Make the cover tight, but loose enough to allow air to circulate around the engine to prevent damage to exposed metal parts from condensation. Remove the waterproof cover every two or three months and check the engine for corrosion. If the engine has signs of corrosion at the check period, follow the protection procedure again. To operate the engine, it is not necessary to remove the preservative oil mixture. If a compartment under protection of VCI vapors is opened, put more VCI mixture in to make up for the vapor loss. Install all covers and/or put tape over all openings, air intake, exhaust openings, flywheel housing, crankcase breathers, dipstick tubes, etc. Make sure all covers are air tight and weatherproof. Use a waterproof, weather resistant tape.5. Put lubricant on all points given in the Lubrication and Maintenance Chart.6.
