LONG TERM STORAGE
A set of operations must be performed to prepare and
protect the genset for a long-term storage.
See the Maintenance Section - Risk of icing conditions
/ Protection against frost, to perform some of the Long
Term Storage operations onto the engine. We recom-
mend that you have all these operations carried out by a
Nanni authorized workshop.
If not fitted inside the vessel, the genset should be left in
the original crate and stored at room temperature, away
from moist.
Should the need be required, some specialized compa-
nies may either store the genset in appropriate condi-
tions for very long storage, or wrap it in applying a spe-
cific protective film on it.
NOTE !
It might be necessary to adapt these operations depend-
ing the climatic conditions. Contact a Nanni authorized
workshop for further informations.
For a prolonged storage (over 12 months), a specific set
of measures must be performed. All these operations
should be carried out by a Nanni authorized workshop.
CAUTION !
If the engine is likely to be subject to frost, drain all wa-
ter in the seawater circuit.
