5.7.3.1 Courses for preservation:
• Check battery charge status and recharge regularly, roughly every 2 months, as necessary. Observe instructions
of the battery manufacturer.
• Check cooling water anti-freeze level and refill as necessary.
The anti-freeze agent must not be older than 2 years. The anti-freeze content shall be between 40 % and 60 % to
ensure corrosion protection of the cooling water circuit. Top off coolant if necessary.
If the cooling water is drained, e.g. after engine surface protection is applied, no water may remain inside the
engine during the downtime. The control unit must be marked accordingly with a note specifying “NO COOLING
WATER“.
• Drain engine oil as specified. Refill engine with preservative oil to the max. level on the oil dipstick.
• Drain diesel from tank and refill with a protective mixture (90 % diesel and 10 % preservative oil) (level to full).
Crank engine without start.
• Dismount V-belt as specified, wrap and store in a dry location. Protect against UV radiation.
Attention!
Cover alternator apertures.
Cleaning fluids and preservatives must not enter the
alternator. Risk of destroying the alternator.
• Clean engine as per manufacturer's instructions.
• Spray engine parts and V-belt disks with preservative.
• Clean air filter housing and spray with preservative (metal housing only).
• Close off intake and exhaust apertures (e.g. with tape or end caps).
Attention!
Before recommissioning, remove preservatives and
protective measures.
5.7.3.2 Measures for removing surface protection after medium term downtimes (3 to 6
months).
• Check battery charge status and recharge if necessary. Observe instructions of the battery manufacturer.
• Check cooling water anti-freeze level and cooling water level and refill as necessary.
• Drain engine oil. Replace oil filter and engine oil as per the specification.
• Remove preservatives from the engine with petroleum spirit.
• Degrease V-belt disks and mount V-belt according to instructions. Check V-belt tension!
• If applicable, open turbocharger oil pressure line and fill clean engine oil into channel.
• Hold engine stop lever in zero delivery position and crank engine manually several times.
• Clean air filter housing with petroleum spirit, check air filter and replace if necessary.
• Remove covers from exhaust aperture and intake apertures.
• Connect battery. Close battery main switch.
• Hold stop lever on generator motor in neutral position and crank starter for approx. 10 seconds. Then, pause for 10
seconds. Repeat this procedure 2 times.
• Perform visual check of the generator similar to initial commissioning and start up generator.
