9. Winter operation
Since the generator is powered by a diesel engine,
special precautions must be taken for using it in the
winter.
Use “winter diesel” to operate the diesel generator in
outdoor temperatures between -3°C to -10°C. The
change to winter diesel takes place at different times
depending on the country concerned, it is general
around the end of October. You can ask at your filling
station when this change should be made.
n
If you use the diesel generator regularly, you do
not need to take any precautions since the
change to winter diesel takes place automatically.
n
If you do not use the generator for a lengthy
period during autumn, but then wish to use it
again in winter, we recommend that you keep the
tank almost empty or drain it as described in point
8.4.
n
Ask at your filling station when you should change
to winter diesel and fill the tank with winter diesel
before the onset of outdoor temperatures of
between -3°C and -10°C.
n
If the diesel fuel still freezes, you must move the
diesel generator to a place where the temperature
is approxi10°C for a period of
approximately 12 hours.
n
If the tank is between halfway and full with normal
diesel fuel, this should then be drain as described
in point 8.4.
n
Then fill the tank with winter diesel.
n
If the tank is between empty and half-full, simply
fill it up with winter diesel.
