prepare for winter
Follow the instructions below if the E-Air motor is to be taken out
of service for a long time. Long-term means a period longer than 3
months, for example during the winter period.
Make sure the motor compartment is ventilated. Good ventilation
prevents moisture in the motor compartment. This prevents corro-
sion.

out of service for a long time. Checks and maintenance work to be
carried out:
• Make sure the motor compartment is completely dry and mois-
ture-free.
• Check that there is sufficient ventilation.
