LAY-UP AND RECOMMISSIONING
GENERAL
Many owners rely on their boatyards to prepare their craft, including generators, for lay-up during the off season or for long
periods of inactivity. Others prefer to accomplish lay-up preparation themselves.
The procedures which follow will allow you to perform your own lay-up and re-commissioning, or you may use them as a
check list if others do the procedures.
These procedures should afford your engine protection during lay-up and also help familiarize you with the maintenance
needs of your generator.
If you have any question regarding lay-up procedures, call your local servicing dealer; he will be more than willing to provide
assistance.
LUBRICATING SYSTEM
With the engine warm, drain all the engine oil from the oil sump. Fill the sump with the correct amount of oil for your engine.
Run the engine and check for proper oil pressure and make sure there are no leaks.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the engine’s old engine oil in the sump
over the lay-up period. Engine oil and combustion deposits combine
to produce harmful chemicals which can reduce the life of your
engine’s internal parts.
FUEL SYSTEM
Top off your fuel tanks with No.2 diesel fuel. Fuel additives should be added at this time to control algae and condition the
fuel. Care should be taken that the additives used are compatible with the primary fuel filter/ water separator used in the
system. Change the filter element in your primary fuel filter / water separator, if the fuel system has one, and clean the
separator sediment bowl. Reinstall and make certain there are no leaks. Clean up any spilled fuel.
Change the fuel filter elements on the engine and bleed the fuel system, as needed. Start the engine and allow it to run for 5-
10 minutes to make sure there is no air left in the fuel system. Check for any leaks that may have been created in the fuel
system during this servicing, correcting them as needed. Operate the engine for 5-10 minutes. This will allow movement of
the treated fuel through the injection equipment of the engine.
RAW WATER COOLING CIRCUIT
Close the through-hull fitting. Remove the raw water intake hose from the fitting. Place the end of this hose into a bucket of
clean fresh water. Clean the raw water strainer.
Start the engine and allow the raw water pump to draw fresh through the system. When the bucket is empty, stop the
engine and refill the bucket with an antifreeze solution slightly stronger than needed for winter freeze protection in your
area.
Start the engine and allow all of this mixture to be drawn through the raw water system. Once the bucket is empty, stop the
engine. This antifreeze mixture should protect the raw water circuit from freezing during the winter lay-up, as well as
providing corrosion protection.
Remove the impeller from your water pump (some antifreeze mixture will accompany it, so catch it in a bucket). Examine the
impeller. Acquire a replacement, if needed, and a cover gasket. Do not replace the impeller (into the pump) until re-
commissioning, but replace the cover and gasket.
CYLINDER AND VALVES
To protect the cylinder and valves, remove the control box side cover. Then spray fogging oil into the cylinder head air intake
opening. Rotate the engine two revolutions using the hand crank. Spray fogging oil into the air intake again. Replace the
control box side cover.
STARTER MOTOR
Lubrication and cleaning of the starter drive pinion is advisable. Make sure the battery connections are shut off before
attempting to remove the starter. Take care in properly replacing any electrical connections removed from the starter.
