2.5.4 Arrangements at a long-term standstill / shutdown
Standstill (more than 6 months)
2.5.4.1 Arrangements for conservation:
• Check the charge of battery and recharge approximately every 3 months if necessary. Consider the specifications
of the battery manufacturer.
• Check anti-freeze protection of the cooling water and refill if applicable.
The anti-freeze protection should not be older than 2 years. The content of the anti-freeze protection should be
between 40% and 60% to ensure corrosion protection in the cooling water circuit; Refill anti-freeze if necessary.
If cooling water will be drained, for example after a conservation of the engine, no water should remain within the
engine during the stand still. At the control unit a correspondent note „NO COOLING WATER“ has to be placed.
• Drain engine oil as required. Refill engine with conservation oil up to maximum at the oil dip stick.
• Drain diesel fuel from tank and refill with conservation mixture (90% diesel and 10% conservation oil - up to max).
Let engine run for 10 min.
• Remove v-belt as required and store packed at a dry place. Protect from UV radiation
• Disconnect battery.Sprinkle terminals with acid-free grease.
Attention!Cover alternator openings.
No cleaning fluids or preservative agents may enter the
alternator. Danger to destroy the alternator.
• Clean engine according to the manufacturer.
• Inject engine parts and v-belt pulleys with a preserving agent.
• Clean air filter housing and inject with a preserving agent.
• Sprinkle exhaust turbo charger (if existent) with conservation agent at intake and exhaust and close lines again.
Sprinkle preserving agent to the intake and exhaust lines than attach again.
• Remove valve cover and sprinkle the inside of the cover, shafts, springs, rocker lever etc. with preserving agent.
• Remove injectors and sprinkle the cylinder area with preserving agent. Keep the shut-off lever on the 0-position and
turn the engine by hand for several times. Screw in the injectors with new gaskets. Consider the torsional moments.
• Sprinkle slightly the radiator cap and tank lid and respectively the radiator cap at the expansion tank and reinstall.
• Close intake and exhaust openings (for example with tape or end caps).
• Drain sea water circuit.
• Close sea cock.
• Clean sea water filter.
• Dismount impeller and store.
Attention!Carry out a de-conservation before recommissioning.
