Stopping the engine
Anti-freezing measures
If the engine room cannot be protected from frost, the
rawwater system must be drained (if it contains raw-
water) and the coolant in the freshwater system must
contain the right mix of anti-freeze and water. Refer to
chapter Maintenance “Rawwater system” and “Fres-
hwater system” respectively.
WARNING! If the rawwater system bursts
due to freezing, the vessel could sink.
IMPORTANT! If the coolant does not give
sufficient anti-freeze protection, it may cause
costly damage to the engine. Check the
charge of the battery. A poorly charged
battery can freeze and break.
Breaks in operation [not using the
genset]
During periods out of service, the engine must be run
warm once a fortnight. This will prevent it from corro-
ding.
IMPORTANT! The genset must be conser-
ved if it is not to be used for longer than two
months. Refer to chapter Inhibiting.
