Care and service
ADVICE
■
If the batteries or other components show signs of mechanical damage, stop
using the DEEP BLUE system. Contact Torqeedo Service or an authorised ser-
vice partner.
■
Ensure that the system components of the DEEP BLUE system are clean at all
times.
■
Do not store foreign objects in the area of the high-voltage components.
ADVICE
Maintenance tasks must be carried out exclusively by qualified specialist person-
nel. Contact Torqeedo Service or an authorised Service Partner.
Before maintenance or cleaning tasks, ensure the following:
■
The Emergency Stop Switch must be tripped.
■
The key switch must be set to 0.
■
On land, the charger plug must be disconnected.
8.1 Care of the system components
The surfaces of the DEEP BLUE system can be cleaned with commercially available
cleaners; the plastic surfaces can be treated with vinyl cleaner.
Check the water strainer of the DEEP BLUE system before every trip, and clean if nec-
essary.
ADVICE
Have corrosion and paintwork damage corrected by a specialist if it occurs.
8.2 Care of the high-voltage batteries
It is essential that the high-voltage batteries of the DEEP BLUE system must be pro-
tected from becoming deeply discharged. Because batteries are subject to self-dis-
charge, a damaging deep discharging is nevertheless possible; this can result in the
permanent destruction of the high-voltage batteries.
Therefore comply with the following instruction:
■
Top-up the charge of the high-voltage batteries after every trip. Ideally, charg-
ing should take place immediately after use. If the high-voltage batteries are dis-
charged to below 20 %, then they must be recharged within 48 hours.
ADVICE
At the end of a trip, follow the instructions in
Chapter 8.4, "Storage"
.
