7. Clean the threaded hole of the heat exchanger and
coat the threads of the anticorrosion zinc anode
(plug) with pipe sealant suitable for marine
applications. Cut the anticorrosion zinc to the
correct length. Install the anticorrosion zinc anode
into the heat exchanger.
8. Close the petcock on the engine and open the
seacock. Refill the cooling system.
9. Check that the generator set is OFF.
10. Reconnect the generator set engine starting
battery, negative (- ) lead last.
11. Reconnect the power to the battery charger, if
equipped.
12. Start the generator set and check for leaks at the
anticorrosion zinc anode location. The pump is
operating if the cooling water flows from the
exhaust outlet. If water is not discharging at the
exhaust o utlet, see the Operation Manual, Prestart
Checklist—Seawater Pump Priming.
