State of the engine lubricating oil
The turbocharger normally remains attached to the engine. The measures
to be taken for mothballing the turbocharger depend on the state of the
lubricating oil:
 If the acid number (TAN) is less than 2 mg KOH/g, no measures need
to be taken.
 If the engine lubricating oil is replaced with a preservative oil and
circulated with the pre-lubrication pump before the engine is taken out
of operation, no measures need to be taken either. Residues of old
engine oil are flushed away in this way and the bearing parts are
largely protected against corrosion.
Preparations for mothballing
Handling operating materials and supplies
Swallowing or inhaling vapours of operating materials and supplies or


operating materials and supplies.

Wear safety gloves against mechanical risks.
Wear a respiratory mask to protect against gases.
If the acid number (TAN) is greater than 2 mg KOH/g, the following
mothballing measures are necessary after taking the engine out of
