INSTALLATION
When
installing WES1ERBEKE
engines
and
generators it is important that strict
attention
be
paid to
the
following
information:
CODES
AND
REGULATIONS
Strict federal regulations,
ABYC
guidelines,
and
safety codes must
be
complied
with
when
installing engines
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
minim~
of 20" 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.
H
you
have
any
doubt
about
the
position 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 siphon-break
requires
periodic inspection and cleaning
to
ensure
proper
operation.
Failure
to
properly maintain a siphon-break
can
result
in
catastrophic
engine
damag~.
Consult
the
siphon-break manufacturer for proper maintenance.
EXHAUST
SYSTEM
The exhaust system's hose
MUST
be
certified for marine
use.
Corrugated Marine
Exhaust Hose is
recommended.
The
use
of
this
type
of hose allows for extreme bends
and
turns
without
the
need
of additiinal
fitting
and
clamps
to
accomplish these bends
and
turns
.In
this
regard,
a single length of corrugated exhaust hose can be
used.
The
system
MUST be designed
to
prevent
the
entry
of water into the exhaust system
under
any
sea conditions
and
at
any
angle
of vessels heal.
A
detailed
Marine
Installation
Manual
covering
gasoline
and
diesel,
engines
and
generators,
is
supplied
with
each
unit.
