General Information ’ WNER ANUAL HPE 300 Marine Diesel Engines Discharge the sea water circuit by draining through the zinc anodes if the engine isn’t utilized for a long time and if exposed to high temperature. Take care, avoid short-circuits. The short circuit can cause damage to people and engine parts.
General Information ’ WNER ANUAL HPE 300 Marine Diesel Engines Check the belts and tighteners status. Check all the engine levels and verify that they are correct, verify the fuel level in the tank (use only clean tank). Turn ON the red button on ECU box and verify that all the LEDs are lighted.
Page 23
Check the fuel tank for dirt or deposits, if necessary clean it**. **INFO: During the end of season or before the engine storage ,if possible, add an injector cleaning additive to the fuel and take care to leave the tank empty after the treatment and cleaning. FNM advises Bardahl injector cleaner.
Page 24
Store the engine in a well aerated place avoiding humidity and steam to prevent rust forming. For long storage of fuel in tank, FNM® advises to use Bardahl® DAB additive or IOSSO® Diesel fuel antibacterial to prevent the proliferation of algae and deposits.
