Environmental protection.
Danger to the environment due to mishandling!
Significant environmental damage can occur, particularly for incorrect dispo-
sal, if environmentally hazardous operating materials are mishandled. The-
refore:
– Always observe the instructions mentioned below.
– Take immediate action if environmentally hazardous materials reach the
environment. Inform the responsible local authorities about the damage in
the case of doubt.
The disposal must be performed by a specialist disposal company.

General maintenance instructions
6.4.1 Checks before each start
• Oil level
• Leaks in the Cooling system
• Visual check for any changes, leaks in the oil drain system,
v-belt, cable connections, hose clips, air filter, fuel lines
Once a month
• Grease/oil the servo motor - Trapezoid thread-spindle
Maintenance intervals - see seperate datasheet
6.4.2 Check of Hoses and Rubber Parts in the sound insulated capsule
Check all hoses and hose connections for good condition. The rubber hoses are very sensitive to environmental
influences. They wear out quickly in an environment of dry air, oil and fuel vapours, and high temperatures.
The hoses must be checked regularly for elasticity. There are operating situations, when hoses must be renewed
once a year.
Additionally to usual tasks of maintenance (oil level check, oil filter control etc.) further maintenance activities are to
be accomplished for marine generators, such as control of the sacrificial anode (cooling water connection block) and
the front seal cover at the generator.
6.5
Oil Change Intervals
The first oil change is to be accomplished after a period of operation from 35 to 50 hours. Afterwards the oil is to be
changed after 150 hours. For this, the oil SAE30 for temperatures over 20°C and SAE20 for temperatures between
5°C and 20°C is to be used. At temperatures under 5 °C oil of the viscosity SAE10W or 10W-30 is prescri bed.
