10 STORAGE<br />
ENGINE STORAGE<br />
- When the engines are not for more than 6 months, they have to be protected performing the operations described in<br />
the following pages.<br />
- If the engine is not to be used for extensive periods, check the storage area conditions and the type of packaging and<br />
make sure that these are suitable for correct storage.<br />
If necessary, cover the engine with a proper protective sheet.<br />
- Avoid storing the engine in direct contact with the ground, in environments that are humid and exposed to bad weather,<br />
near high voltage electric lines, etc.<br />
Important<br />
If, after the first 6 months, the engine is still not used, it is necessary to carry out a further measure to extend<br />
the protection period (see “Protective treatment”).<br />
PROTECTIVE TREATMENT<br />
1 - Pour in the engine housing AGIP RUSTIA C protective oil up to the maximum level.<br />
2 - Fill up with fuel containing 10% AGIP RUSTIA NT.<br />
3 - Make sure that the coolant is up to the maximum level.<br />
4 - Start the engine and keep it idle at minimum speed for some minutes.<br />
5 - Bring the engine to ¾ of the maximum speed for 5÷10 minutes.<br />
6 - Turn off the engine.<br />
7 - Empty out completely the fuel tank.<br />
8 - Spray SAE 10W on the exhaust and intake manifolds.<br />
9 - Seal the exhaust and intake ducts to prevent foreign bodies from entering.<br />
10 - Thoroughly clean all external parts of the engine using suitable products.<br />
11 - Treat non-painted parts with protective products (AGIP RUSTIA NT).<br />
12 - Loosen the alternator/fan belt.<br />
13 - Cover the engine with a proper protective sheet.<br />
Caution - Warning<br />
In countries in which AGIP products are not available, find an equivalent product (with specifications: MIL-L-<br />
21260C).<br />
Important<br />
Maximum every 24 months of inactivity, the engine must be started up by repeating all "Engine Storage"<br />
operations.<br />
