Check the level of the electrolyte at least one a month
and if necessary top it up with distilled water.
If the generator in not going to be used for a prolonged
period it should be disconnected and stored in a dry
place at a temperature above 10 °C and should be
completely recharged once a month.
If the battery is left completely flat
for long periods it could be permanently damaged.
The battery's positive clamp should be covered with
Vaseline to protect it from corrosion and oxidation.
For topping up with sulphuric
acid, ready-made solutions must be used.
When topping up the batteries
with water or acid wear protective gauntlets and
goggles to prevent the acid accidentally coming
into contact with the skin.
If the battery liquid accidentally comes into contact
with the skin wash the affected part thoroughly with
soap and water and consult a doctor.
Before recharging the battery
check the level of electrolyte and top it up if neces-
sary with distilled water. This must be done after
recharging has taken place.

5.12 Periods of inactivity

Start up the generator at least once a month.
If the generator is not going to be used for a prolonged
period, proceed as follows:
- Replace the engine oil.
- Replace the oil filter cartridge (see paragraph 5.2).
- Replace the fuel filter cartridge(see paragraph 5.4).
- Remove the injectors, insert 2 cc of engine oil and run
the engine for a few revolutions by manually operating
the pulley of the engine shaft.
Refit the injectors.
- Replace the zinc pads (see paragraph 5.8)
- Draw up the anti-freeze liquid through the sea water
inlet pipe. The anti-freeze protects the exchangers from
low temperatures and lubricates the sea water pump
impeller and the metal parts inside the cooling system.
- Disconnect the starter battery and store in a dry place
(see paragraph 5.10)
- Disconnect the pipe that discharges into the sea from
the engine collector.
- Clean the sea water filter
- Close the sea water intake valve
- Drain the sea water from the exhaust.
- Clean and lubricate the siphon break, if one has been
fitted.

The starter motor works but the engine does not
start.
- Check that there is fuel in the tank (Fill up tank)

not been pressed. (To reset, press the red button) [fig. 2,
ref. 8])
- Check the battery cables and terminals and the wiring.
(Reconnect).
- Check the battery. (Recharge or replace )

- Check whether a safety device has been triggered and
a warning light has come on (Eliminate the cause and try
to start up again).
- Check for fuel in the tank (Top up).
