SECTION 5: OPERATING YOUR EWP
®
ELECTRIC WATER PUMP
Start engine, confirm no leaks at radiator hoses and re-torque radiator hose
clamps if required. Monitor the engine temperature, which should take longer
than usual to reach steady state. If the ignition is left on (or if a turbo timer is
connected) after a hot shut down, the pump will continue to run and prevent
engine heat soak. Re-tighten the hose clamps after a few hours running at
temperature and again after 20 hours running. Check for leaks. NB: The
heater circuit may take longer than normal to warm up.
SECTION 6: EWP
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
To ensure maximum life and optimum performance from your new EWP
,
Davies, Craig recommends:
Storage - If a EWP
is installed in your vehicle’s engine cooling system,
stored and/or not started or driven for more than 3 months, e.g. a
show/static display or race car, it’s strongly recommended the EWP
®
is
operated for approximately 5 mins constant running every month. This will
minimise the build-up of any sediment in the EWP
and also lubricate all
parts within the pump.
Heater - For improved heater performance on vehicles which have the
heater inlet (return) and outlet ports in the mechanical pump housing
(referred to in “Warnings”), Davies, Craig suggests the fitment of the EBP
.
This unit fits into the heater hose and boosts coolant flow through the
heater circuit and/or cylinder heads. Check out website
www.daviescraig.com.au
LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas or Butane) vehicles require constant flow
through the LPG converter and if the EWP
is used in conjunction with the
EWP
®
/Fan Digital Controller, we recommend the installation of an EBP
®
to
overcome the converter body freezing at start-up. As a preventative
measure, we strongly recommended you flush out your engine’s cooling
system every 6 months or 10,000kms to help remove any build up of
sediment.
