straps can be procured through service parts
under part numbers JD-244-1 and JD-244-2.
1. If not equipped, install lifting straps and torque to
200 N•m (145 lb-ft).
2. Attach JDG23 Engine Lifting Sling (A) to engine lifting
straps (B) and overhead hoist.
IMPORTANT: Lifting straps are designed to lift the
engine and accessories such as
radiator, air filter and other small
components. If larger components,
such as power take-off, transmission,
generator air compressor... etc, are
attached to engine, the lifting straps
provided with engine or through parts
channel are not intended for this
purpose. Technician is responsible for
providing adequate lifting devices under
these situations. See machine manuals
for additional information on removing
engine from machine.

ENGINE OPERATION
Operating the Engine
Warming engine
Operate engine at high idle for 1 to 2 minutes before
applying the load.
NOTE: This procedure does not apply to standby
generator sets where the engine is loaded
immediately upon reaching rated speed.
Normal engine operation
Compare engine coolant temperature and engine oil
pressure with specifications below:
Minimum oil pressure at full load rated speed1—Specification
Stop engine immediately if coolant temperature is
above or oil pressure below specifications or if there
are any signs of part failure. Symptoms that may be
early signs of engine problems could be:
• Sudden loss of power
• Unusual noise or vibration
• Excessive black exhaust fumes
• Excessive fuel consumption
• Excessive oil consumption
• Fluid leaks
Recommendation for turbocharger engines
Should the engine stall when operating under load,
IMMEDIATELY restart it to prevent overheating of
turbocharger components.
Idling engine
Avoid excessive engine idling. Prolonged idling may
cause the engine coolant temperature to fall below its
normal range. This, in turn, causes crankcase oil
dilution, due to incomplete fuel combustion, and
permits formation of gummy deposits on valves,
pistons and piston rings. It also promotes rapid
accumulation of engine sludge and unburned fuel in
the exhaust system. If an engine will be idling for more
than 5 minutes, stop and restart later.
NOTE: Generator set applications have the governor
locked at a specified speed and do not have a
slow idle function. These engines idle at no
load governed speed (fast idle).

CHECKING ENGINE SPEED
NOTE: Most engines for generator set application
(1500 rpm for 50 Hz or 1800 rpm for 60 Hz) run
only at fast idle and therefore they do not have
slow idle.
2. Grasp vibration damper with both hands and attempt to
turn it in both directions. If rotation is felt, damper is
defective and should be replaced.
IMPORTANT: The vibration damper assembly is not
repairable and should be replaced every
4500 hours or 5 years, whichever
occurs first.
3. Check vibration damper radial runout by positioning a
dial indicator so probe contacts damper outer
circumference.
4. With engine at operating temperature, rotate crankshaft
using JDG820 or JDE83 Flywheel Turning Tool.

PREPARING ENGINE FOR LONG TERM STORAGE
The following storage preparations are good for long
term engine storage up to one year. After that, the
engine should be started, warmed up, and retreated
for an extended storage period.
IMPORTANT: Any time your engine will not be
used for over six (6) months, the
following recommendations for
storing it and removing it from
storage will help to minimize
corrosion and deterioration. Use the
AR41785 Engine Storage Kit. Follow
recommended service procedure
included with storage kit.
1. Change engine oil and replace filter. Used oil will
not give adequate protection. (See CHANGING
ENGINE OIL AND FILTER).
2. Service air cleaner. (See CLEAN OR REPLACE
AIR FILTER).
3. Draining and flushing of cooling system is not
necessary if engine is to be stored only for several
months. However, for extended storage periods of a
year or longer, it is recommended that the cooling
system be drained, flushed, and refilled. Refill with
appropriate coolant. (See DIESEL ENGINE
COOLANT).
4. Drain fuel tank and add 30 ml (1 oz) of inhibitor to
the fuel tank for each 15 L (4 U.S. gal) of tank
capacity. Completely drain fuel filter and close fuel
valve, if equipped.
5. Add 30 ml (1 oz) of inhibitor to the engine
crankcase for each 0.95 L (1 qt) of crankcase oil.
6. Disconnect air intake piping from the manifold. Pour
90 ml (3 oz) of inhibitor into intake system and
reconnect the piping.
7. Crank the engine several revolutions with starter
(do not allow the engine to start).
8. Remove fan/alternator belt, if desired.
9. Remove and clean battery. Store them in a cool,
dry place and keep them fully charged.
10. Clean the exterior of the engine with salt-free
water and touchup any scratched or chipped
painted surfaces with a good quality paint.
11. Coat all exposed (machined) metal surfaces with
grease or corrosion inhibitor if not feasible to paint.
12. Seal all openings on engine with plastic bags and
tape supplied in storage kit. Follow instructions
supplied in kit.
13. Store the engine in a dry protected place. If
engine must be stored outside, cover it with a
waterproof canvas or other suitable protective
material and use a strong waterproof tape.
