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

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 Requirements
