N OT E
If machine has accumulated a very low amount of hours (250 hours or less) since its last scheduled
lubrication service, do not drain and refill transmission and differential; skip step 7.
7.
Drain and refill transmission (WP 0083 00) and differential (WP 0091 00).
8.
Preserve engine as follows:
CAU T I ON
If an engine is not used for prolonged periods, oil can run off the cylinder walls, piston rings, main
bearings, connecting rod bearings, crankshaft, gears, and other parts that normally get lubrication.
This lack of lubricant allows corrosion to start on the metal, especially in areas of high humidity
(water content in the air).
a.
First, clean engine of all dirt, rust, grease, and oil. Inspect exterior of engine, and paint areas that have paint dam-
age with Paint, heat resisting (81349) MIL-P-14105 (Item 38, WP 0206 00).
b.
Remove any dirt from air cleaner. Check all seals and gaskets and filter element for damage (WP 0032 00).
c.
Drain and refill crankcase oil and change oil filter(s) (WP 0025 00).
N OT E
If the engine crankcase is full, drain enough engine oil to add the mixture.
d.
Add Volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) oil (Item 60, WP 0206 00) to crankcase at a rate of 3 to 4% by volume.
e.
Remove air filter element (WP 0032 00). Disconnect fuel injection pump electrical connector (WP 0164 00) and
crank engine. Use a sprayer or Tool group, flow check (Item 97, WP 0205 00) to add a mixture of 50% Volatile
corrosion inhibitor (VCI) oil (Item 60, WP 0206 00) and 50% Oil, lubricating, OEA-30, Arctic (Item 32, WP 0206
00); Oil, lubricating, OE/HDO-40 (Item 33, WP 0206 00); or Oil, lubricating, OE/HDO-5/40 (Item 34, WP 0206
00) into air intake or turbocharger inlet. Install air filter element and completely enclose element with dark plastic
bags, sealing it with Tape, pressure sensitive adhesive (Item 56, WP 0206 00). Reinstall air filter covers. Put Tape,
pressure sensitive adhesive (Item 56, WP 0206 00) over all openings to seal VCI vapors in engine.
f.
Use a sprayer or Tool group, flow check (Item 97, WP 0205 00) to apply a mixture of 50% Volatile corrosion
inhibitor (VCI) oil (Item 60, WP 0206 00) and 50% Oil, lubricating, OEA-30, Arctic (Item 32, WP 0206 00); Oil,
lubricating, OE/HDO-40 (Item 33, WP 0206 00); or Oil, lubricating, OE/HDO-5/40 (Item 34, WP 0206 00) into
exhaust openings. The minimum application volume is 1.4 oz (40 ml). Seal exhaust pipe, including drain holes in
muffler, with Tape, pressure sensitive adhesive (Item 56, WP 0206 00).
g.
Replace both primary and secondary fuel filters (WP 0036 00). Apply a spray of 11oz (340 ml) of 50% Volatile
corrosion inhibitor (VCI) oil (Item 60, WP 0206 00) and 50% Oil, lubricating, OEA-30, Arctic (Item 32, WP 0206
00); Oil, lubricating, OE/HDO-40 (Item 33, WP 0206 00); or Oil, lubricating, OE/HDO-5/40 (Item 34, WP 0206
00) to prevent rust in fuel tank. Add 2 oz (50 mL) of Biocide, fuel preservative (Item 6, WP 0206 00) to fuel.
Apply a small amount of oil to threads on fuel tank filler neck, and install cap (TM 5-3805-290-10). Seal all open-
ings to tank with Tape, pressure sensitive adhesive (Item 56, WP 0206 00), to prevent evaporation of fuel and pre-
servative.
h.
Remove fuel injectors (WP 0163 00) and apply 1 oz (30 mL) of VCI oil mixture [50% Volatile corrosion inhibitor
(VCI) oil (Item 60, WP 0206 00) and 50% Oil, lubricating, OEA-30, Arctic (Item 32, WP 0206 00); Oil, lubricat-
ing, OE/HDO-40 (Item 33, WP 0206 00); or Oil, lubricating, OE/HDO-5/40 (Item 34, WP 0206 00)] into each cyl-
inder. Rotate crankshaft by hand slowly; this will put oil on cylinder walls. Reinstall fuel injectors.
