Follow the steps described in Par. 5.11.
- Engine oil replacement (Par. 6.1).
- Refuel with fuel additives for long storage.
- With expansion tank: make sure that the coolant is up to the MAX level.

- Start the engine and keep it idle at minimum speed for 2 minutes.
- Bring the engine to 3/4 of the MAX speed for 5÷10 minutes.
- Turn off the engine.

- When cleaning the engine, if using a pressure washer or steam cleaning device, avoid directing the nozzle on electrical components, cable connections and sealed rings (oil seals etc). If cleaning engine with a pressure washer or steam cleaner, it is important to maintain a minimum distance of at least 200mm between the surface to be washed and the nozzle - avoiding absolutely electrical components such as alternators, starter motors and engine control units (ECU).
- Treat non-painted parts with protective products.
