Storage
The engine and other equipment must be laid up to prevent damage if they are not used for two months or more.
It is important that this is done in the correct manner, and nothing is forgotten. For this reason, we have compiled
a check list of the most important points.
Before the engine is taken out of service for a long period of time, an authorized Volvo Penta workshop should
check it over. Have any faults and deficiencies attended to, so that the equipment is in order, ready for the next
start.
CAUTION!
Read the chapter on Maintenance before starting work. It contains instructions on how to carry out maintenance
and service operations in a safe and correct manner.
WARNING!
Conservations oils can be flammable and dangerous to breathe. Ensure good ventilation. Use a protective face
mask when spraying.
IMPORTANT!
Remember the following when washing with a high pressure washer: Never aim the water jet at seals, rubber
hoses or electrical components.
•
For up to 8 month’s stoppage:
Change the oil and oil filter on the engine, then warm
it up afterwards.
More than 8 month's stoppage:
Conserve the lubrication and fuel systems with con-
servation oil. Please refer section
Conservation of
the lubrication and fuel systems for more than 8
months’ stoppage.
•
Check that the coolant offers sufficient frost protec-
tion. Top up as necessary.
Alternatively, you can drain the coolant (also drain
the coolant filter).
•
Drain any water and contamination from the fuel fil-
ters and fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank completely, to
avoid condensation.
•
Disconnect the battery cables, clean and charge the
batteries. Trickle charge the batteries while the
equipment is in storage.
A poorly charged battery
can freeze and burst
.
•
Clean the outside of the engine. Do not use a high
pressure washer for engine cleaning. Touch up
paint damage with Volvo Penta original paint.
•
Spray the components of the electrical system with
water-repellent spray.
•
Check and rust-proof any control cables.
•
Put a note on the engine with the date, type of con-
servation and the conservation oil used.
•
Cover over the air filter, exhaust pipe and engine if
necessary.
