Hydrogen gas may form in water heater if not used.  
Open valves.  Do not smoke or use electrical appli-
ances for several minutes before use.
Hot coolant under pressure may boil or explode and 
cause burns or other personal injury when the pres-
sure cap is removed.  Allow the engine to cool, then 
open the cap slowly to allow any pressure to vent 
before completely removing the cap. 
Before using any system that requires raw cooling 
water, ensure that the intake valve is opened and the 
strainers are not clogged.  Section 9.4.6 illustrates 
the procedure for cleaning your strainers.
9.3.6  Water Heater
The fresh water pump supplies water to the water heater 
from  the  water  tanks.   A  breaker on  the AC  side  of  the 
MDP, and  a rocker  switch on the  control  panel  controls 
power to the heater. 
Follow these procedures when using the water heater:
1.  Make  sure  the  water  heater  is  full  of  water.  Open  a 
hot water  faucet  and allow  a steady  stream  of  water to 
flow out of the faucet to remove all air from the hot water 
circuit.
2. With the generator running or shore power connected 
to  your  boat,  switch  on  the  WATER  HEATER  circuit 
breaker at the AC side of the MDP.  
3. Wait for the water in the tank to heat up, then use as 
you would at home.
ratures in excess 110ºF (43ºC) are dangerous and 
may cause scalding, severe injury or death

1. Let the water flow for at least 2 minutes to allow sup-
ply
temperature to stablize.
2. Calibrate the mixed water outlet temperature by plac-
ing
a thermometer in the mixed water stream.
3. To adjust the setting of the valve, loosen locking cap
with hex wrench, see figure 9.5. Cap must be lifted 1/4”
