G3600 engines operating outside, with no protection from the environment, may have operational problems caused by exposure to water. The problems affect the engine electronics and may cause an engine shutdown.Solution:
The G3600 engine electronics have been evaluated to identify all problem areas. The problem areas and associated corrective actions are defined below. All engine areas listed below should be inspected IF WATER CONTAMINATION IS SUSPECTED. If the "Observed Problems" are present, the corresponding "Corrective Action" can be taken. The corrective actions listed below are intended to contain the problems on field engines; permanent corrective actions, that may differ from those listed below, are being implemented on production engines. Care must be used when washing an engine, especially with a power washer, to prevent water from entering the electronic enclosures. Annual inspection of all seals is recommended to ensure ongoing protection from environmental conditions. INSTALLATION OF 171-7102 ENGINE JUNCTION BOX SHIELD ASSEMBLY 1.
