the genset and replace the seawater filter cover. Before starting the genset again,
open the seawater cock.
Repeat this operation whenever the genset is used at temperatures below 0ºC.
3.
Use oil with suitable quality and viscosity. SAE 15W40 is recommended.
Under extreme
conditions contact with technical support.
4.
Cover battery with an adequate material to protect it against the cold. Check that
the battery is fully charged.
It is also advisable to use a dielectric spray on the electrical connections.
5.
When starting the genset, make sure that the glow plugs become hot enough.
6.
If necessary, replace the diesel oil by a specified diesel oil type for low temperatures.
The accumulation of impurities in the fuel tank could cause faulty firing.
All gensets not in use are subject to rusting and corrosion of machined surfaces that are
not protected with a paint coating. The degree of corrosion depends on meteorological changes
and climatic conditions. The following recommendations are therefore of a general nature but
they will help prevent or reduce the risk of damage due to rusting
.
4.3. Winterzation and Preservation
If the boat is not going to be used for a long period of time or during the winter, certain
tasks must be carried out to keep it in perfect operating condition. If there is no care, the inside
parts can oxidize and cause damage on the genset. When the genset is stored, steps indicated
below have to been follow:
1.
Clean the outer surface of the genset.
2.
Bleed the seawater circuit by filling it with fresh water. Fill the seawater circuit again
with a mixture of fresh water and anti-freezing agent.
3.
Remove the impeller from the seawater pump, clean it with fresh water and store it in
place protected from moisture and sunlight.
4.
Renew and refill the heat exchanger to the maximum level with a mixture of fresh
water and anti-freezing agent.
5.
Renew the oil and oil filter in the genset.
6.
Cover the air intake.
7.
If the fuel tank is small, empty it completely and clean it; fill it up again with a mixture
of diesel and anti-corrosion additive. Solé S.A. recommends DIECYL PLUS. Add one
measure of this additive for every 25 liters of diesel. On the other hand, if the fuel tank
is large, add 1 liter of this additive for every 500 liters of diesel.
8.
Clean and dry the area where the genset is installed.
9.
Loosen the belts.
10.
Apply dielectric spray on the electrical connection, disassemble the battery and
charge it several times during the time it is not being used.
11.
Apply moisture repellent spray on the motor.
