(1)
Clean and service batteries.
(a)
Clean any corrosion from battery terminals and coat with a light film of non-conductive grease (Item
8, Appendix C) to prevent corrosion buildup during storage.
(b)
Check electrolyte level and fill to split ring, where necessary, with distilled water (Item 23, Appendix
C).
(c)
Check specific gravity with a battery electrolyte solution tester. Reading should be 1.260. Recharge
if necessary.
(2)
Be sure fuel level in tank is full.
(3)
Be sure oil level in engine is full.
(4)
Lubricate (LO 10-4320-315-12).

Long-Term Storage (more than 90 days). Perform the following steps:
(1)
Perform procedures listed in short-term storage (para. 2-9a).
(2) Service engine air intake.
(a)
Remove air filter element (TM 10-4320-315-10).
(b)
Start engine briefly, then shut off. As engine decelerates, spray 30 weight oil (Item 10, Appendix C)
liberally into air intake.
(c)
Replace air filter element CTM 10-4320-315-10).
c.
Long-Term Cold Storage. At temperature below 32°F (0°C), the batteries must be kept at full charge (1.260
specific gravity) to prevent freezing. Inspect and test every seven days and recharge as necessary.
2-10 Preparation of Pumping Assembly for Shipment. The pumping assembly is in a shippable form once it has
been shut down and stowed in accordance with the operating instructions. The pumping assembly is provided with D-
rings on the trailer chassis for lifting with a four-legged sling. The D-rings are also used to secure the pumping assembly
to the decks of trucks, ships, or aircraft. The rear of the pumping assembly is fitted with forklift slots. Perform the
following checks prior to transporting:
a.
Service engine air intake.
(1)
Remove air filter element (TM 10-4320-315-10).
(2)
Start engine briefly, then shut off. As engine decelerates, spray 30 weight oil (Item 10, Appendix C)
liberally into air intake.
(3)
Replace air filter element (TM 10-4320-315-10).
b.
Check that all leveling and tripod jacks are locked in the transport position.
c.
Close and secure noise enclosure doors.
