13.The generator housing and the housing of the engine should be sprayed with a corrosion pro-
tection oil before the winter storage. This procedure is recommended also in the season. This
procedure can avoid that arising and humidity marks on the surface of the aluminum construc-
tion units be noticed too late.
14.Disconnect the starter battery (positive and negative pole).
15.Lubricate the spindle for the number of revolutions adjustment device with a special lubricant
(Antiseize grease).
16.Check cooling water connection block at the generator housing on traces of corrosion and if
necessary renew. (only such traces are to be considered, which refer to clear "blossoming" of
the material. If the surface is only grey coated, this is only an indication for the fact that alumi-
num came into contact with condensed moisture.)
17.Use of a air dehumidifier. The best way to protect a yacht in the winter storage against
damage by humidity is, to places a air dehumidifier inside the ship and locks all hatches. The
devices have a hygrometer, which switches the device off, if the humidity is under the adjusted
value. There is no better method, in order to protect pads, cable, electronics, wood, engines
etc. optimally against any rotting by humidity.
6.9.2 Initiation at spring
• Before the first start turn the engine once with the hand, in order to eliminate necessary existing
corrosion beginnings in the bushing. If necessarily carry out normal engine inspection.
• Change engine oil and engine oil filters.
• Reintegrate the impeller of the cooling water pump and check pump for leakage.
• Charge starter battery of the generator, connect cables and check battery voltage.
• Start generator and check the basic adjustments of the generator such as voltage, speed re-
gulation etc..
• Check all switching off devices for function by operational procedures.
Fischer Panda does not take over adhesion for possible damages!
