REGULATIONS
.
Strict
federal
regulations,
ABYC
guidelines,
and
safety codes must be complied

and
generators in a marine environment.
SIPHON-BREAK
For installations
where
the exhaust manifold/water injected exhaust elbow is close
to
or
will
be
below
the vessel's waterline, provisions must be made
to
install a siphon-
break
in
the
raw
water supply hose
to
the exhaust
elbow.
This hose must be looped a
minimum
of20"
above
the vessel's waterline.
Failure
to
use
a
siphon-break'when
the
exhaust
manifold
injection
port
is
at
or
below
the
load
waterline
will
result
in
raw
water
damage
to
the
engine
and
possible
flooding
of
the
boat.
If
you
have
any
doubt about the positi9n of the water-injected exhaust elbow relative
to
the
vessel's waterline under
the
vessel's various operating conditions,
install
a
siphon-break.
NOTE:
A siplton-break
requires
periodic inspection and cleaning
to
ensure proper
operation.
Failure
to
properly maintain a siphon-break
can·
result
in
catastrophic
engine
damage.
Consult
the
siphon-break manufacturer for proper maintenance.
