Engine maintenance indications (when installed on board)

Below you find some indications to guarantee engine long life and to prevent hazards:
-
Take care to maintain the engine room dry and well aerated. Residual water in bilge could
vaporize and condensate on the engine, vapor created in this process damages the protection
varnish. Humidity and corrosive vapor damage the electrical connections. Bilge water may wet
engine parts during the boat navigation.
-
Maintain the engine room fresh and well aerated. During engine use, the engine room shall be
well aerated and the aeration holes must guarantee a good air flush. To guarantee a good air
supply during the engine use, follow the guideline instructions. Fresh, well aerated and dry engine
room guarantees long life to the engine protection varnish, to the plastic and rubber parts,
increases the engine performances and prevents excessive overheating of hot parts (exhaust,
turbine, etc.).
Maintain the engine room dry and well aerated.
-
-The ventilation holes must ensure a good flow of air, but should prevent the entrance of salt,
water and dirt in the engine room. The seals of doors and hatches must prevent the entrance of
water in the engine room. Engine room ventilation, in respect of what discussed above, could be
forced or natural.
-
-Take care of the distance between the turbocharger and the plastic part. The turbocharger
heats up during use and may damage the plastic and fiberglass parts (follow the installation
manual instructions). Insulate with a coating that ensures good thermal protection to
structures and bulkheads of the boat next to the hot parts of the engine to reduce the risk
of fire.
- Take care to oil or fuel leaks. The oil or fuel may come into contact with the turbocharger
during operation resulting in fire.
-
Take care to the turbocharger protection varnish. The housing of the turbocharger is painted with
heat resistant varnish.
Periodically check the housing of the turbocharger and, if necessary, spray with new paint
resistant to high temperatures.
The turbocharger becomes hot during use. Take care, risk of fire.
- Electrical and electronic parts are affected by moisture and the attack of corrosive agents.
Never rapidly increase the speed of the engine if the engine does not reach the correct
temperature.
- Pay attention to the state of battery charge, recharge during the engine inactivity, if required
periodically. Maintain the battery compartment aerated and dry to avoid risk of fire.
