Maintenance Instructions
B.9.1 Measures on preparation of the winter storage
15.Lubricate the spindle for the number of revolutions adjustment device with a special lubricant
(Antiseize grease).
16.Check cooling water connection block at the generator housing on traces of corrosion and if
necessary renew. (only such traces are to be considered, which refer to clear "blossoming" of
the material. If the surface is only grey coated, this is only an indication for the fact that aluminum
came into contact with condensed moisture.)
17.Use of a air dehumidifier. The best way to protect a yacht in the winter storage against
damage by humidity is, to places a air dehumidifier inside the ship and locks all hatches. The
devices have a hygrometer, which switches the device off, if the humidity is under the adjusted
value. There is no better method, in order to protect pads, cable, electronics, wood, engines
etc. optimally against any rotting by humidity.
B.9.2 Initiation at spring
• Before the first start turn the engine once with the hand, in order to eliminate necessary existing
corrosion beginnings in the bushing. If necessarily carry out normal engine inspection.
• Change engine oil and engine oil filters.
• Reintegrate the impeller of the cooling water pump and check pump for leakage.
• Charge starter battery of the generator, connect cables and check battery voltage.
• Start generator and check the basic adjustments of the generator such as voltage, speed regulation
etc..
• Check all switching off devices for function by operational procedures.
Icemaster does not take over adhesion for possible damages!
