MAINTENANCE
When storing your OXE Diesel
outboard for a longer period of
time (2 months or more), some
important procedures must be
performed in order to prevent
excessive damage.
NOTE! We strongly recommend
to have the outboard serviced and
winterized by your authorised dealer
before storing.
!
CAUTION
To prevent oil from the sump
entering a cylinder, keep the
outboard in upright position when
transporting and during storage.
Do not store or transport the
outboard on its side.
To prevent freezing damage, the
seawater system must be drained
and the freshwater system
coolant must have sufficient
antifreeze protection, see Check
coolant level and mixture. Also
refer to Workshop Manual.
To prevent any damage such as
corrosion build-up, which could
lead to permanent engine failure.
It is required to apply fogging oil
(engine conservation oil) in the
tail-pipe of the turbo charger to
prevent the vanes inside the turbo
charger from sticking.
Store the outboard in a dry, well
ventilated place. Protect from
sunlight.
STORING THE OUTBOARD
Winterization of the outboard
When storing an engine for a
prolonged period of time or in
sub-zero temperatures several
important procedures should be
performed to prevent engine issues.
1. Open connection (1) and place
a container beneath.
2. Open the lower connection
for the seawater on the belt
housing and place a container
beneath.
3. Remove all necessary engine
components to get satisfactory
access for applying fogging
oil on the vanes inside the
turbocharger by spraying
through the turbine wings
in a circular motion. Aer
successfully applying the
fogging oil on the vanes, in
reverse order, assemble the
engine components to the
engine.
