2. Inspection and Adjustment

2.8 Adjusting operation

Perform the adjusting operation of a engine as follows after the maintenance job:
1)Supply the fuel oil, lubricating oil and coolant water.
Note:
Check the levels of the lubricating oil and coolant water again after test running (for about 5 minutes) and add
as required.
2)Start the engine, and carry out idling at a low revolution (700 to 900 rpm) for a few minutes.
3)Run in the engine for about five minutes at the rated revolution (no-load). Check any water, fuel or oil leak
and existence of abnormal vibration or noise. Also check the oil pressure, coolant water temperature and
exhaust gas color.
4)Adjust the no-load minimum and maximum revolutions according to the specifications.
5)Perform loaded operation as required.

2.9 Long storage

Observe the following instructions when the engine is to be stored for a long period without operation:
1)Be sure to use clean soft water added Long Life Coolant Antifreeze (LLC) in the cooling water system and
do not drain the coolant before long-term storage.
If drain the cooling water, it will cause to built up rust due to the residual water in the cooling water system.
2)Remove the mud, dust and oil deposit and clean the outside.
3)Perform the nearest periodic inspection before the storage.
4)Drain or fill the fuel oil fully to prevent condensation in the fuel tank.
5)Disconnect the battery cable from the battery negative (-) terminal.
6)Cover the silencer, air cleaner and electric parts with PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) cover to prevent water and
dust from depositing or entrance.
7)Select a well-ventilated location without moisture and dust for storage.
8)Perform recharging once a month during storage to compensate for self-discharge.
9)When storing an engine for long time, run the engine or do motoring periodically according to the following
procedure. Because the rust occurrence inside the engine, the rack agglutination of the fuel pump, and so
on are likely to occur. (In case that the engine is equipped with a machine unit,)
a)Replace the lube oil and the filter before the engine running.
b)Supply fuel if the fuel in the fuel tank was removed, and bleed the fuel system.
c)Confirm that there is the coolant in the engine.
d)Operate the engine at the low idling speed for about five minutes. (If it can be done, one a month)
