18.1 General

Description

This chapter describes preservation, general installation requirements, and project
documentation.

18.2 Preservation

Long term or short term preservation can be provided for the engine and package. The
type of preservation required is dependent on the following:

• Type of transportation (sea, air, or truck)
• Climatic conditions during transport and storage
• Storage period
• Storage facilities
• Static and dynamic loads imposed during shipment

Refer to Solar’s Product Information Letter 097 “Package Preservation and Preparation
for Shipment“ for additional guidelines.

Long-term preservation is required if:

• Equipment will be stored in an unimproved storage area for greater than 6

months before installation

• Transportation is by ship
• Transportation includes transshipment (package will go from truck to barge to

truck, etc., e.g., rigorous loads will be encountered during shipment)

• Package will be exposed to severe weather conditions during transport

18.2.2 Short-Term

Preservation

Short-term preservation may be acceptable if:

• Equipment will be stored in an improved storage area for less than 6 months

before installation

• Transportation is not by ship
• Transportation does not include transshipment (package will not go from truck

to barge to truck, etc., e.g., rigorous loads will not be encountered during
shipment)

• Package will not be exposed to severe weather conditions during transport

18.3 Site
