The service intervals and relevant information about the preventive maintenance of the transmission are indicated in the user manual provided by the manufacturer of the transmission. Contact your Nanni representative for further information regarding the maintenance of the transmission. The hour meter has no reset capability and displays the total operating hours of the engine since factory acceptance tests.

Cleaning the Centrifugal Oil Cleaner

When the centrifugal oil cleaner is cleaned, there should be some dirt deposits on the paper in the rotor cover. If the paper is clean, the equipment is not functioning correctly—investigate the cause. Renew the paper more frequently if the deposits exceed 28 mm (1.1 inches) during a
scheduled oil change.

Key Servicing Intervals for Reliability

Plan routine checks at 50/100/200 hours to match your usage. Short runs and heavy idling may require tighter oil and filter intervals. At 200 hours, expand inspections to the fuel and cooling systems. The 805 Marine Mechanic team can tailor intervals to your duty cycle and operating temps.
