Need help?Do you have a question about the Westerbeke 7.5KW-50HZ BTDA and is the answer not in the manual?
Read this safety manual carefully. Most accidents are caused by failure to follow fundamental rules.
Do not touch AC electrical connections while engine is running. Lethal voltage is present.
Do not touch hot engine parts or exhaust system components. A running engine gets very hot!
Prevent flash fires. Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks near fuel sources.
Explosions from fuel vapors can cause injury or death. Follow re-fueling safety instructions.
Accidental starting can cause injury or death! Disconnect battery cables before servicing.
Battery explosion can cause injury or death! Do not smoke near battery.
Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury or death! Wear protective gear.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly gas! Ensure exhaust system is adequate.
Rotating parts can cause injury or death! Do not service the engine while it is running.
High noise levels can cause hearing loss! Never operate an engine without its muffler installed.
Preparations to install an engine should begin with an examination of ABYC standards.
Strict federal regulations, ABYC guidelines, and safety codes must be complied with.
Install a siphon break in the raw water supply hose for installations below the waterline.
The exhaust hose must be certified for marine use and designed to prevent water entry.
Diesel engine exhaust constituents are known to cause cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm.
CO is poisonous, causes unconsciousness/death. Symptoms include dizziness, nausea, headache.
