Short Term Storage (Wet Layup)
Short term storage (wet layup) should be used anytime the machine is going to sit 3-30 days without being used.
If it will sit for less than 3 days the machine can be left with water at the normal operating level. If it will sit for
more than 30 days, it should be winterized (see winterization in the maintenance section).
Filling up the boiler completely with water is the preferred method for short term storage. To do this, press Wet
Layup > Confirm Wet Layup. The generator will start and the boiler will begin to fill until water comes out of the
pressure relief valve. As soon as water comes out, shut down the machine. The machine is now ready for short
term storage.
Having the boiler completely full of water prevents rust and corrosion inside the boiler.
