If the desired mounting situation requires the exhaust
silencer to be mounted vertically, the condensation drain
hole must be drilled, as shown in Fig. 14b, to avoid the
build-up of condensation in the exhaust silencer. If that is
not possible, it is recommended to install it sideways (see
Fig.14a).
The outlet of the exhaust pipe must be installed
pointing downwards (Fig. 8), and in such a position that
would prevent the clogging or invasion of snow and dirt,
and also provide a free drain for any water that gets into
it.
When installing on a maritime vessel, the silencer
must be mounted using the bolt and nut provided, so it
will be in a fixed position.
Make longitudinal cuts (about 15mm) (see Fig. 11,
Fig. 13, Fig.15) on the ends of the metal hose to ensure
better sealing when connecting the heater pipe to the pipe
for discharge of exhaust gases through the board of the
vessel, but without going beyond the pipe to be covered.
A rubber bushing (sold seperatly) must be used if
exhaust pipe goes through plastic parts. For example, the
bumper of a vehicle (see Fig. 15).
The exhaust pipe needs additional insulation at every connection of the
metal hose. For example, use a heat-resistant tape or sealant to prevent any
leaks of exhaust gases at connection points.
