TA2 Inspection for C32 Marine Propulsion Engines{1000}
- Marine Engine:
- C32 MARINE (S/N: RPM1-UP; SDN1-UP)
Introduction
Inspections are the most basic form of condition monitoring. They are easy to do and surprisingly effective at helping you spot equipment health issues. Proactive monitoring and analysis of equipment information will allow Dealers to effectively intervene before problems occur.
Note: Before adjusting product settings to comply with listed baseline TA2 values, consult SIS for the latest specification values.
