INSTALLATION

When installing WESTERBEKE engines and generators it is important that strict attention be paid to the following infom1ation:

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 siphonbreak in the raw water supply hose to the exhaust elbow. This hose must be looped a minimum 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.

If 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 damage. Consult the siphon-break manufacturer for proper maintenance.

INTRODUCTION

SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

The engine's model number and serial number are located on a nameplate mounted on the side of the engine's manifold.

The engine's serial number can also be found stamped into the engine block on the flat sutface of the block just above and inboard of the injection pump. Take the time to enter this information on the illustration of the nameplate shown below, as this will provide a quick reference when seeking technical information andlor ordering repair parts.

UNDERSTANDING THE DIESEL ENGINE

The diesel engine closely resembles the gasoline engine, since the mechanism is essentially the same. The cylinders are arranged above a closed crankcase. The crankshaft is the same general type as a gasoline engine, and the diesel engine has the same type of valves, camshaft, pistons, connecting rods and lubricating system.

Therefore, to a great extent, a diesel engine requires the same preventive maintenance as a gasoline engine. The most important factors are proper ventilation and proper mainte· nance of the fuel, lubricating and cooling systems. Fuel and lubricating filter elements must be replaced at the time periods specified, and frequent checking for contaminant's

(water, sediment, etc.) in the fuel system is also essential.

Another important factor is the consistent use of the same brand of high detergent diesel lubrication oil designed specifically for diesel engines.

The diesel engine does differ from the gasoline engine, however, in its method of handling and firing of fuel. The carburetor and ignition systems are replaced by a single component - the fuel injection pump - which performs the function of both.

ORDERING PARTS

Whenever replacement parts are needed, always provide the engine model number and serial number as they appear on the silver and black nameplate located on the manifold. You must provide us with this infonnation so we may properly identify your engine. In addition, include a complete part description and part number for each part needed (see the separately furnished Parts List). Insist upon WES1ERBEKE packaged parts because will fit or generic parts are frequently not made to the same specifications as original equipment.

SPARES AND ACCESSORIES

Certain spares will be needed to support and maintain your

WES1ERBEKE engine. Your local WES1ERBEKE dealer will assist you in preparing an inventory of spare parts.

See the SPARE PARTS page in this manual. For engine accessories, see WESTERBEKE'S ACCESSORIES brochure.

RAW WATER COOLING SYSTEM

Siphon-Break

For installations where the water injected exhaust elbow is close to or will be below the vessels waterline, provisions must be made to install a siphon·break in the raw water supply hose to the water injected exhaust elbow. The siphon· break provides an air vent in the raw water cooling system to prevent raw water from filling the exhaust system and the engine's cylinders when the engine is shutdown.

A

CAUTION: 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 position of the water· injected exhaust elbow relative to the vessels waterline under the vessels various operating conditions, install a siphonbreak. This precaution is necessary to protect your engine.

The siphon·break must be installed in the highest point of a hose that is looped a minimum of 20 inches (51cm) above the vessels waterline. This siphon·break must always be above the waterline during all angles of vessel operation to prevent siphoning.

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 damage. Consult the siphon-break manufacturer for proper maintenance.

DIESEL FUEL, ENGINE OIL AND ENGINE COOLANT

DIESEL FUEL

Use fuel1hat meets 1he requirements or specification of Class

2-D (ASTM), and has a cetane rating of #45 or better.

Care Of The Fuel Supply

Use only clean diesel fuel! The clearance of1he components in your fuel injection pump is very critical; invisible dirt particles which might pass through 1he filter can damage these finely finished parts. It is important to buy clean fuel, and keep it clean. The best fuel can be rendered unsatisfactory by careless handling or improper storage facilities. To assure that the fuel going into the tank for your engine's daily use is clean and pure, the following practice is advisable:

Purchase a well-known brand of fuel.

Install and regularly service a good, visual-type fuel filter/water separator between the fuel tank and the engine.

The Raycor 500 FG or 900 FG are good examples of such filters.

ENGINE OIL

Use a heavy duty engine oil with an API classification of Cf or CG-4 or better. Change the engine oil after an initial 50 hours of break-in operation, and every 100 hours of operation

1hereafter. For recommended oil ,use

sAE

15W-40

(oil viscosity) and stay with 1he same brand of oil thru-out the life of the engine.

A

CAUTION:

Do not allow two Dr mDre brands of engine oil to mix. Each brand contains its own additives; additives of different brands could reacl in the mixture to produce properties harmful tD your engine.

ENGINE COOLANT

WESTERBEKE recommends a mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water. Distilled water is free from the chemicals that can corrode internal engin~ surfaces.

The antifreeze performs double duty. It allows the engine to run at proper temperatures by transferring heat away from the engine to the coolant, and lubricates and protects the cooling circuit from rust and corrosion. Look for a good quality antifreeze 1hat contains Supplemental Cooling

Additives (SCAs) that keep the antifreeze chemically balanced, crucial to long term protection.

The distilled water and antifreeze should be premixed before being poured into the cooling circuit.

NOTE: Lookfor the new environmentally-frierully long lasting antifreeze that is now available.

PURCHASING ANTIFREEZE

Rather than preparing the mixture, WESTERBEKE recommends buying the premixed antifreeze so that so that when adding coolant the mixture will always be correct

There are two common types of antifreeze, Ethylene Glycol

(green) and Propylene Glycol (red/purple), either can be used but do not mix the two and if changing from one to another, flush the engine thoroughly.

Premixed antifreeze for DIESEL Engines:

Specification #ASTM 5345.

MAINTENANCE

Change the engine coolant every five years regardless of the number of operating hours as the chemical additives that protect and lubricate the engine have a limited life.

COOLANT RECOVERY TANK

A coolant recovery tank kit is supplied with each generator.

The purpose of this recovery tank is to allow for engine coolant expansion and contraction during engine operation, without the loss of coolant and without introducing air into the cooling system .

PREPARATIONS FOR INITIAL START-UP

PRESTARTINSPECTION

Before starting your engine for the first time or after a prolonged layoff, check the following items: o

Check the engine oil level. Add oil to maintain the level at the high mark on the dipstick. o

Turn on the fuel supply, then check the fuel supply and examine the fuel filter/water separator bowl for contaminants. o

Check the transmission fluid level. o

Check the DC electrical system. Inspect wire connections and battery cable connections. Make certain the positive

( +) battery cable is connected to the starter solenoid and the negative (-) cable is connected to the engine ground stud (this location is tagged). o

Check the coolant level in both the plastic recovery tank and at the manifold.

NOTE: If the engine has not yet been filled with coolant, refer to the COOliNG SYSTEM section of this manual.

D

Visually examine the engine. Look for loose or missing parts. disconnected wires, and unattached hoses. Check the threaded connections and engine attachments.

D Make certain there is proper ventilation around the engine. An ample supply is necessary for proper engine performance.

D Make sure the mounting installation is secure.

D Ensure the propeller shaft is securely attached to the transmission.

D Open the thru-hull and make certain raw water is primed to the raw water strainer.

D Visually inspect the engine for fuel, oil, or water leaks.

D

Check the engine oil level (dipstick).

D

Check the coolant level in coolant recovery tank.

Periodically check the manifold coolant leveL.

D Check the transmission fluid level.

D

Check your fuel supply.

D

Look for clean fuel in the fuel filter/water separator transparent bowL

Check for loose wires at the alternator and make sure its mounting is secure.

D

Check the starting batteries (weekly)

D

Check drive belts for wear and proper tension (weekly).

D

Visually inspect the raw water pump for leakage.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Place the transmission in neutral, throttle advanced.

NOTE: Hydraulically operated transmissions have a neutral safety switch through which the starter solenoid energizing circuit passes. This switch is open when the transmission is in gear so the starter solenoid will not energize.

2. Tum the KEY SWITCH to the ON position (2 o'clock).

(If the panel is energized, gauges are lit) and the alarm buzzer will pulse.

3. Press the PREHEAT BUTfON, and hold for 5 to 15 seconds depending how cold it is .. (The foellift pump is priming the engine and the preheat is activated).

4. Continue pressing the PREHEAT BUTTON and press the START BUTTON. (The starter motor is cranking the engine).

5. Release the START and PREHEAT BUTTON as the engine starts. The alarm buzzer should silence as the oil pressure rises.

6. With the engine running, check the instruments for proper oil pressure and battery charging voltage. Also check for overboard discharge of exhaust water. The water temperature will rise slowly until the thermostat opens. Do not engage the gear shift until the temperature is close to nonnal.

NOTE: Never attempt to engage the starter while the engine is ntnning.

It is important to closely monitor the panel gauges.

Become aware of the normal engine readings and take immediate action if these readings start to vary.

If a "smart" regulator is part of the charging system, allow about 50 second~ for the RPM gauge to activate.

FAILURE TO START

If the engine fails to start when the start button is pressed for

5 seconds, wait for at least 30 seconds and repeat the starting procedure. Make certain the transmission control is in th~ neutral position as some engines have a neutral safety SWItch to prevent starting in gear.

Never run the starter for more then 30 seconds. If the engine fails to start, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING CHART in this manual.

A

CAUTION: Prolonged cranking intervals without the engine starting can result in the engine exhaust system filling with raw water. This may happen because the pump is pumping raw water through the raw water cooling system during cranking. This raw water can enter the engine's cylinders by way of the exhaust manifold once the exhaust system tills. Prevent this from happening by clOSing the raw water supply through-hull shutoff, draining the exhaust muffler, and correcting the cause of the excessive engine cranking.

Engine damage resulting from raw water entry

is

not a warrantable issue; the owner/operator should keep this in mind.

STOPPING PROCEDURE

To stop the engine, bring the throttle to an idle position and place the transmission in neutral. Allow the engine to idle for a few moments to stabilize temperatures, then shut the engine down by turning off the key switch.

NOTE: When starting:

A voltage drop will occur when the preheat button is depressed.

ENGINE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

DESCRIPTION

Although your engine has experienced a minimum of one hour of test operations at the factory to make sure accurate assembly procedures were followed and that the engine operated properly, a break-in time is required. The service life of your engine is dependent upon how the engine is operated and serviced during its initial 50 hours of use.

Breaking-in a new engine basically involves seating the piston rings to the cylinder walls. Excessive oil consumption and smoky operation indicate that the cylinder walls are scored, which is caused by overloading the engine during the break-in period.

Your new engine requires approximately 50 hours of initial conditioning operation to break in each moving part in order to maximize the performance and service life of the engine.

Perfonn this conditioning carefully, keeping in mind the following:

1. Start the engine according to the

STARTING PROCE-

DURE section. Run the engine at fast idle while checking that all systems (raw water pump, oil pressure, battery charging) are functioning.

2. Allow the engine to wann up (preferably by running at fast idle) until the water temperature gauge moves into the 130 - 140°F (55 - 60°C) range.

3. While using the vessel, run the engine at various engine speeds for the first 25 hours. Avoid prolonged periods of idling.

4. Avoid rapid acceleration, especially with a cold engine.

5. Use caution not to overload the engine. The presence of a grey or black exhaust and the inability of the engine to reach its full rated speed are signs of an overload.

.6. During the next 25 hours, the engine may be operated at varying engine speeds, with short runs at full rated rpm.

Avoid prolonged idling during this break-in period.

CHECK LIST

D

Monitor the control panel gauges.

D

Check for leaks of fuel and engine oil.

D Check for abnormal noise such as knocking, friction, vibration and blow-back sounds.

D

Confinn exhaust smoke:

When the engine is cold white smoke.

When the engine is warm - almost smokeless.

When the engine is overloaded - some black smoke and soot

NOTE: See the TRANSMISSION section of this manual for break-in information on your transmission.

WARNING LIGHTS, ALARMS & CIRCUIT BREAKER

ALTERNATOR WARNINGS

The Captain Control Panel indicates alternator low discharge with a red warning light

The Admiral Control Panel uses a voltmeter to monitor the performance of the alternator.

COOLANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH

A coolant temperature switch is located on the thermostat housing. This switch will activate a continuous alarm if the coolant's operating temperature reaches approximately

210°F (99°C).

LOW OIL PRESSURE ALARM SWITCH

A low oil pressure alarm switch is located off the engine's oil gallery. This switch's sensor monitors the engine's oil pressure. Should the engine's oil pressure fall to 5 -10 psi

(0.4 - 0.7 kg/cm2), this switch will activate a pulsating alarm.

ENGINE CIRCUIT BREAKER

The DC harness on the engine is protected by an enginemounted manual reset circuit breaker (20 amps DC).

Excessive current draw or electrical overload anywhere in the instrument panel wiring or engine wiring will cause the breaker to trip. In this event most engines will shut down because the opened breaker disconnects the fuel supply. If this should occur, check and repair the source of the problem.

After repairing the fault, reset the breaker and restart the engine.

FUEL

FILTER

FUEL SYSTEM

DIESEL FUEL

Use No.2 diesel fuel with a cetane rating of 45 or higher. Do not use kerosene or home heating fueL

FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR

A primary fuel filter of the water separating type must be installed between the fuel tank and the engine to remove water and other contaminants from the fuel before they can be carried to the fuel system on the engine.

Most installers include a fuel filter/water separator with the installation package as they are aware of the problems that contaminants in 'the fuel can cause.

A typical fuel filter/water separator is il1ustrated below. This is the Raycor Model 500 MA. Keep in mind that if a water separator type filter is not installed between the fuel supply tank and engine-mounted fuel system, any water in the fuel will affect the fuel pump, engine filter, and injection equipment. The owner/operator is responsible for making certain the fuel reaching the engine's injection equipment is free of impurities. This process is accomplished by installing and maintaining a proper fuel filter/water separator.

FUEL FILTERS

The fuel injection pump and the fuel injectors are precisely manufactured and they must receive clean diesel fuel, free from water and dirt. To ensure this flow of clean fuel, the fuel must pass through at least two fuel filters, a fuel filter/water separator and the engine's spin-on fuel filter. Visually inspect, clean, and change these filters according to the maintenance schedule in this manual.

A

WARNING:

Shut off the fuel valve at the tank when servicing the fuel system. Take care in catching any fuel that may spill. DO NOT allow any smoking, open flames or other sources of fire near the fuel

sys-

tem when servicing. Ensure proper ventilation exists when servicing the fuel system.

LOOSEN FITTING - - - - - l ' - A

WHEN PRIMING

FILL FILTER

The fuel injection pump is a very important component of the diesel engine, requiring the utmost care in handling. The fuel injection pump has been thoroughly bench-tested and the owner-operator is cautioned not to attempt to service it. If it requires servicing, remove it and take it to an authorized fuel injection pump service facility. Do not attempt to disassemble and repair it.

FUEL LIFT PUMP

Periodically check the fuel connections to and out of the pump and make sure that no leakage is present and that the fittings are tight and secure. The DC ground connection at one of the pump's mounting bolts should be clean and well securedbi the mounting bolt to ensure proper pump operations.

When energized thru the preheat circuit, the fuel lift pump will purge air from the fuel system and provide a continuous flow of fuel as the engine is running.

INLET FUEL FILTER

To ensure clean fuel enters the fuel lift pump, there is an in-line filter at the incoming fuel line. This filter should be replaced every 200 operating hours.

1. Shut off the fuel supply.

2. Loosen the fuel filter, turning counterclockwise with a filter wrench. Place the used filter in a container for proper disposal.

3. Using a rag, wipe clean the sealing face on the housing bracket so the new filter can be seated properly.

4. Lightly oil the sealing O-ring on the new filter. To reinstaJ], tum the filter assembly counterclockwise carefully until the a-ring contacts the sealing surface of the housing bracket. Tum 213 further with the filter wrench.

5. The key-on preheat sequence will operate the fuel lift pump and quickly fill the new filter. It is also poSsible to hand prime ~he filter using the lever on the top.

6. Run the engine and inspect the filter for fuel leaks.

FRESH WATER COOLING CIRCUIT

NOTE: Refer to the ENGINE COOLANT page for the recommended antifreeze and water mixture to be used as the fresh water coolant.

Fresh water coolant is pumped through the engine by a circulating pump, absorbing heat from the engine. The coolant then passes through the thermostat into the manifold, to the heat exchanger where it is cooled and returned to the engine block via the suction side of the circulating pump.

When the engine is started cold, external coolant flow is prevented by the closed thermostat (although some coolant flow is bypassed around the thermostat to prevent the exhaust manifold from overheating). As the engine warms up, the . thermostat gradually opens, allowing full flow of the engine's coolant to flow unrestricted to the external portion of the cooling system.

Coolant Recovery Tank

A coolant recovery tank allows for engine 'Coolant expansion and contraction during engine operation,:'wjthout any significant loss of coolant and without introducing air into the cooling system. This tank should be located at or above the engine manifold level and should be easily accessible.

Remove the cap on the coolant recovery tank and fill with coolant mix to halfway between LOW and MAX and replace the cap. Run the engine and observe the coolant expansion flow into the recovery tank.

After checking for leaks, stop the engine and allow it to cool.

Coolant should draw back into the cooling system as the engine cools down. Add coolant to the recovery tank if needed and check the coolant in the manifold. Clean up any spilled coolant.

THERMOSTAT

A thennostat, located near the manifold at the front of the engine, controls the coolant temperature as the coolant continuously flows through the closed cooling circuit. When the engine is first started, the closed thennostat prevents coolant from flowing (some coolant is by-passed through a hole in the thennostat to prevent the exhaust manifold from overheating). As the engine wanns up, the thennostat gradually opens. The thennostat is accessible and can be checked, cleaned, or replaced easily. Cany a spare thennostat and gasket

Replacing the Thermostat

Remove the cap screws and disassemble the thennostat housing as shown. When installing the new thennostat and gasket, apply a thin coat of sealant on both sides of the gasket before pressing it into place. Do not over-tighten the cap screws.

Run the engine and check for nonnal temperatures and that there are no leaks at the thennostat housing.

RAW WATER INTAKE STRAINER

NOTE: Always install the strainer at or below the waterline so the strainer will always be self-priming.

A clean raw water intake strainer is a vital component of the engine's cooling system. Include a visual inspection of this strainer when making your periodic engine check. The water in the glass should be clear.

Perfonn the following maintenance after every 100 hours of operation:

1. Close the raw water seacock.

2. Remove and clean the strainer filter.

3. Clean the glass.

4. Replace the washer jf necessary.

5. Reassemble and install the strainer.

6. Open the seacock.

7. Run the engine and check for leaks.

NOTE:

Also follow the above procedure after having run hard aground.

If the engine temperature gauge ever shows a higher than nonnal reading, the cause may be that silt, leaves or grass may have been caught up in the strainer, slowing the flow of raw water through the cooling system.

COOLING SYSTEM

RAW WATER PUMP

The raw water pump is a self-priming, rotary pump with a non-ferrous housing and a Neoprene impeller. The impeller has flexible blades which wipe against a curved cam plate within the impeller housing, producing the pumping action.

On no account should this pump be run dry. There should always be a spare impeller and impeller cover gasket aboard

(an impeller kit). Raw water pump impeller failures occur when lubricant (raw water) is not present during engine operation. Such failures are not warrantable, and operators are cautioned to make sure raw water flow is present at startup. The raw water pump should be inspected periodically for brokeno! tom impeller blades. See MAINTENANCE

SCHEDULE.

NOTE: Should a failure occur with the pump s iliternal parts

(seals and bearings), it may be more cost efficient to purchase a new pump and rebuild the original pump as a spare.

AIR

INTAKE

NOTE: To operate efficiently a diesel engine must intake a continuous volume of clear air. Hard starting, an erratic idle, and black e¥zaust smoke are all symptoms of a restricted air intake.

Changing the Raw Water Pump Impeller

Close the raw water intake valve. Remove the pump cover and, with the aid of two small screwdrivers, carefully pry the impeller out of the pump. Install the new impeller and gasket

Move the blades to confonn to the curved cam plate and push the impeller into the pump's housing. When assembling, apply a thin coating of lubricant to the impeller and gasket. Open the raw water intake valve.

A

CAUTION: If any of the vanes have broken off the impeller, they must be found to prevent blockage in the

ZINC ANODES

~OTE: E~ectrolysis action is the result of each particular uzstallation and vessel location; not that of the engine.

If the zinc anodes need replacement, hold the hex boss into which the zinc anode is threaded with a wrench while loosening the anode with another wrench. This prevents the hex boss from possibly tearing off the exchanger shell. After removing the Zinc, note the condition Qf it If the zinc is in poor condition, there are probably a lot of zinc flakes within the exchanger. Remove the end of the heat exchanger and clean the inside of all zinc debris. Always have a spare heat exchanger end gasket in case the present one becomes damaged when removing the end cover. Replace the gasket (refer tc your engine model's heat exchanger end gasket part number), O-ring and cover, and install a new zinc anode.

NOTE: The threads of the zinc anodes are pipe threads and do ,not require sealant. Sealant should not be used as it may insulate the zinc from the metal of the heat exchanger housing preventing electrolysis action on the zinc.

Heat Exchanger Service

After approximately 1000 hours of operation, remove, clean and pressure test the engine's heat exchanger. (A local automotive radiator shop should be .able to clean and test the heat exchanger.)

DESCRIPTION

The lubricating system is a pressure feeding system using an oil pump. The engine oil is drawn from the oil sump by the oil pump, which drives the oil, under pressure, through the oil filter, oil cooler and various lubricating points in the engine. 'The oil then returns to the oil sump to repeat the continuous cycle. When the oil pressure exceeds the speci-

, fied pressure, the oil pushes open the relief valve in the oil pump and returns to the oil sump, keeping the oil pressure within its specified range.

ENGINE Oil CHANGE

1. Draining the Oil Sump. Discharge the used oil througn the sump drain hose (attached to the front of the engine) while the engine is wann. Drain the used oil completely, replace the hose in its bracket, and replace the end cap securely.

NOTE: Thread size for the lube oil drain hose capped end is 114NPT.

Always observe the used oil as it is removed. A yellow/gray emulsion indicates the presence of water in the oil. Although this condition is rare, it does require prompt attention to prevent serious damage. Call a qualified mechanic should water be present in the oil.

Raw water present in the oil can be the result of a fault in the exhaust system attached to the engine and/or a siphoning of raw water through the raw water cooling circuit into the exhaust, filling the engine. This problem is often caused by the absence of an anti-siphon valve, its poor location or lack of maintenance.

2. Replacing the Oil Filter. When removing the used oil filter, you may find it helpful and cleaner to punch a hole in the upper and lower portion of the old filter to drain the oil from it into a container before removing it. This helps to lessen spillage. A small automotive filter wrench should be helpful in removing the old oil filter.

NOTE: Do not punch this hole without first loosening the jilter to make certain it can be removed.

Place some paper towels and a plastic bag around the filter when unscrewing it to catch any oil left in the filter.

(Oil or any other fluid on the engine reduces the engine's cooling ability. Keep your engine clean.) Inspect the old oil filter as it is removed to make sure that the rubber sealing gaSket comes off with the old oil filter. If this rubber sealing gasket remains sealed against the filter bracket, gently remove it.

NOTE: A newly started, cold engine can have an oil pressure reading up to 60 psi (4.2 kglcm 2

).

A warmed engine can have an oil pressure reading as low as 35 psi (25kg/cm2). These readings will vary depending upon the temperature of the engine and the rpms. .. amm-11/16"

ENGINE LUBRICATING OIL

When installing the new oil filter element, wipe the filter gasket's sealing surface on the bracket free of oil and apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the rubber gasket on the new oil filter. Screw the filter onto the threaded oil filter nipple on the oil filter bracket, and then tighten the filter firmly by hand..

NOTE: The engine oil is cooled by engine coolant flowing through passages in the oil jilter bracket housing assembly.

3. Filling the Oil Sump. Add new oil through the oil filler cap on the top of the engine or through the side oil fill.

Mter refilling, run the engine for a few moments while checking the oil pressure. Make sure there is no leakage around the new oil filter or from the oil drain system, and stop the engine. Then check the quantity of oil with the lube oil dipstick. Fill to, but not over the high mark on the dipstick, should the engine require additional oil.

WATER HEATER CONNECTION KIT (71B & C, 82B FOUR, & 107 B & C)

The models refered to in this manual are equipped with connections for the plumbing of engine freshwater coolant to a domestic hot water heater. One connection (to) is located on the lower side ofthe exhaust manifold. The other connection (return) is located on the center outer surface of the heat exchanger. Both of these connections have square head 1/2 N.P.T. plugs in them to plumb a domestic hot water heater into the engine's freshwater system.

Remove both of these plugs and install the appropriate hose nipple 1/2 N.P.T. x 3/4 I.D. to route hose to and return from the domestic water heater.

Installation: The heater should be mounted conveniently either in a high or low position in relation to the engine, so that the connecting hoses from the heater to the engine can run in a reasonably direct line without any loops which might trap air.

\

\

, "Heat Exchanger

HEATER BELOW ENGINE

Hoses should rise continuously from their low point at the heater to the engine so that trapped air will rise naturally from the heater to the engine. If trapped air is able rise to the heater, then an air bleed petcock must be installed at the higher fitting on the heater for bleeding air while filling the system. Avoid loops in hose runs which will trap air.

NOTE: If any portion of the heating circuit rises above the engine's own pressure cap, then a pressurized (aluminum) remote expansion tank must be installed in the circuit to become the highest point. The remote expansion tank's part number is 24177. Tee the remote expansion tank into the heater circuit at the heater connection, choosing the higher of the two for the return. Tee right at the heater and plumb a single line up to the tank's location and the other back to the engine's retUrn. install the remote expansion tank in a convenient location such as In a sail locker so the fresh water coolant level can easily be checked. The remote expansion tank will now serve as a check and system fill point. The plastic coolant recovery tank is not used when the remote expansion tank kit is installed, since this tank serves the same function.

The pressure cap on the engine's manifold should be installed once the engine's cooling system is filled with coolant. Finish filling the cooling system from the remote tank once the system is filled and is free of air and exhibits good coolant circulation. During engine operation, checking the engine's coolant should be done at the remote tank and not at the engine manifold cap.

The hose connection from the heater to the remote expansion tank should be routed and supported so as to rise continuously from the heater to the tank, enabling any air in the system to rise.

NOTE: An air bleed petcock is located at the top center of the engine's heat exchanger.

Open this petccek when filling the freshwater system to allow air in the exchanger to escape. Close tightly once all air is removed.

WATER HEATER CONNECTIONS (71 C & 828 FOUR)

FOR PRODUCTION MODELS FROM MARCH 2004 ON

WESTERBEKE provides easy access for connecting to an on-board hot water system. These connections allow for the engines hot water (coolant) to flow to the ships hot water tank, heating the fresh water and then cycling back to the engine.

The water heater should be mounted in a convenient location either in a high or low position in relation to the engine, so that the connecting hoses from the heater to the engine can run in a reasonably direct line without any loops which might trap air.

Hoses should rise continuously from their low point at the heater to the engine so that air will rise naturally from the heater to the engine. If trapped air is able to rise to the heater, then an air bleed petcock must be installed at the higher fitting on the heater for bleeding air while filling the system.

NOTE: An air bleed petcock is located on the engine:V heat exchanger and on the thermostat housing. Open these petcocks when filling the engine s coolant system to allow air to escape. Close both tightly after all the air is removed.

NOTE: If any portion 0/ the heating circuit rises above the engine S closed cooling system pressure cap, then a pressurized (aluminum) remote expansion tank. (Kit #024177) must be installed in the circuit to become the highest point.

Tee the remote expansion tank into the heater circuit, choosing the higher a/the two connections/or the return. Tee at the heater; and plumb a single line up to the tanks location and the other back to the engine's return. Install the remote expansion tank in a convenient location so the fresh water coolant level can easily be checked. The remote expansion tank. will now serve as a check and system fill point. The plastic coolant recovery tank is not used when the remote expansion tank kit is installed, since this· tank serves the same function.

GLOW PLUGS

DESCRIPTION

The glow plugs are wired through the preheat solenoid.

When PREHEAT is pressed at the control panel this solenoid should "click" on and the glow plug should begin to get hot.

Re--install the plugs in the engine and test them again. The plugs should get very hot (at the terminal end) within 7 to 15 seconds. If the plugs don't heat up quickly, check for a short circuit When reinstalling the glow plugs, use anti-seize compound on the threads.

INSPECTION

To inspect the plug, remove the electrical terminal cOJmections, then unscrew or unclamp each plug from the cylinder head. Thoroughly clean each plug's tip and threads with a soft brush and cleaning solution to remove all the carbon and oil deposits. While cleaning, examine the tip for wear and burn erosion; if it has eroded too much, replace the plug.

STARTER MOTOR

DESCRIPTION

The starter is a new type, small, light-weight and is called a high-speed internal-reduction starter. The pinion shaft is separate from the motor shaft; the pinion slides only on the pinion shaft. A reduction gear is installed between the motor shaft and a pinion shaft. The pinion sliding part is not exposed outside the starter so that the pinion may slide smoothly without becoming fouled with dust and grease. The motor shaft is supported at both ends on ball bearings. The lever mechanism, switch and overrunning clutch inner circuit are identical to conventional ones.

WARNING: The following emergency starting procedures must not be used with gasoline engines.

Sparks could cause an explosion and fire.

Prior to testing, make certain the ships batteries are at full charge and that the starting system wiring connections

(terminals) are clean and tight. Pay particular attention to the ground wire connections on the engine block.

To check the wiring, try cranking the starter for a few seconds, never more than 10 seconds at a time, then run your hand along the wires and terminals looking for warm spots that indicate resistance. Repair or replace any trouble spots.

Using a multimeter, test the voltage between the positive terminal stud on the start solenoid and the engine block

(ground).

If you read 12 volts, the starter is faulty.

To test the ignition circuit, locate the ignition(s) terminal (it is one of the small terminal studs and is wired to the ignition circuit). Use a screwdriver, don't touch the blade, to jump from that ignition terminal to the positive battery connection terminal on the solenoid.

If the starter cranks, the fault lies with the ignition circuit.

If the solenoid clicks but nothing happens, the starter motor is probably faulty.

Test again by jumping the two large terminal studs. Hold the screwdriver blade finnly between the studs. Do not allow the screwdriver blade to touch the solenoid or starter casing, this would cause a short.

A

WARNING:

There will be arching as the full starting current should be flowing thru the blade of the screwdriver.

If the starter spins, the solenoid is faulty.

If the starter fails to spin, the motor is probably faulty.

If no arching occurred, there is no juice reaching the solenoid.

NOTE: Starter motors are either inertia type or pre-engaged.

In the pre-engaged model, the solenoid also moves an arm that engages the starter motor to the flywheel of the engine. using a screwdriver to bypass the solenoid on such a starter will run the motor without engaging the flywheel. Tum the starter switch on to provide power to the solenoid. Hopefully it will create enough magnetic field for the arm to move even though the contacts inside the solenoid are bad.

TAP LIGHTLY WHERE

\ . INDICATED

If that fails, tum the battery switch on and have a crew member tum the ignition on and off rapidly as you tap again with the hammer., This may loosen the brushes and allow contact to start the engine. When you reach a repair facility, the starter will need to be repaired.

SERVICE

WESTERBEKE uses a standard starter motor which can be serviced or rebuilt at any starter motor automotive service center,

If replacing the starter motor, make certain the new motor is certified for marine use. Automotive starters do not meet

USCG standards. If in doubt, contact your WESTERBEKE dealer.

TO REMOVE FOR SERVICE

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. If necessary, remove any components to gain full access to the starter motor.

3. Label and disconnect the wiring from the starter. (Do not allow wires to touch, tape over the terminals).

4. Remove the starter mounting bolts.

5. Remove the starter from the engine. In some cases the starter will have to be turned to a different angle to clear obstructions,

3. Start the engine, at fast idle the output terminals should indicate 14.2 volts [no load]. A reading of 12.6 would indicate the alternator is not performing properly.

Apply a load such as an electric bilge pump, the voltage should maintain at least 13.8 volts. 13 volts or less indicates the alternator is faulty.

NOTES:

When the engine is first started, it takes a few moments for the alternator to "kick in" and take the load. There is a noticeable change in the sound of the engine and the

RPM gauge will excite.

D A slight whine is normal when running with a full load on the alternator.

D When the alternator is producing high amperage, it will become very hot.

NOTE: FOR CORRECT WIRING HARNESS CONNECTIONS TO THE ALTERNATOR,

REFER TO THE WIRING DIAGRAMS IN THIS MANUAL.

DESCRIPTION

The following infonnation applies to the standard alternators that are supplied with WESTERBEKE'S Marine Engines and Marine Generators.

ELECTRICAL CHARGING CIRCUIT

The charging system consists of an alternator with a voltage regulator, an engine DC wiring harness. a DC circuit breaker and a battery with connecting cable and wires. Because of the use of integrated circuits (Ie's), the electronic voltage regulator is very compact and is mounted internally or on the back of the alternator.

It is desirable to test the charging system (alternator and voltage regulator) in the boat using the wiring harness and electrical loads that are a pennanent part of the system.

In-boat testing will then provide the technician with an operational test of the charging system as well as the major components of the electrical system.

ALTERNATOR DESCRIPTION

The stator is connected to a three-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier package which contains six diodes. The bridge converts the AC generated in the stator to a DC output for battery charging and accessories such as a radio, heater, lights, refrigerator, depth sounder, etc.

Power to the regulator and the field of the integral regulator alternator is provided by the field diode (or diode trio) package contained in the alternator.

These alternators produce a rated output of 50 or 51 amps.

Rated output is achieved at approximately 6000 alternator rpm at an ambient temperature of75°F (23.8°C). The alternators are designed to operate in an ambient temperature range of 40° to 212°F (-40 0 to 100°C).

VOLTAGE REGULATOR

The integral voltage regulator is an electronic switching device which senses the system voltage level and switches the voltage applied to the field in order to maintain a proper system voltage.

The regulator design utilizes all-silicon semi conductors and thick-film assembly techniques. After the voltage has been adjusted to the proper regulating value, the entire circuit is encapsulated to protect the circuit and the components from possible damage due to handling or vibration and moisture encountered in a vessel.

ALTERNATOR TROUBLESHOOTING

Use this troubleshooting section to determine if a problem exists with the charging circuit or with the alternator. If it is determined that the alternator or voltage regulator is faulty, have a qualified technician check it.

LOW BATTERY/FAULTY CIRCUIT

If the starter only moans or makes a clicking sound instead of spinning the engine to life it is likely a low battery or a faulty connection in the starting circuit and not an alternator problem.

A simple test is to try starting again with a cabin light on, if the light dims significantly or goes out, the battery is dead. If the light remains bright, look for a poor connection in the starting circuit.

ALTERNATORS TESTING/TROUBLESHOOTING

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

Before starting the actual alternator and voltage regulator, testing the following checks are recommended.

1. Make certain your alternator is securely mounted.

2. Check the drive belt for proper tension. Replace the belt if it is worn or glazed.

3. Check that all terminals, connectors and plugs are clean and tight. loose or corroded connections cause high resistance and this could cause overcharging, undercharging or damage to the charging system. Badly corroded battery cables could prevent the battery from reaching a fully charged condition.

4. Check the condition of the battery and charge if necessary. A low or discharged battery may cause false or misleading readings on the in-vessel tests.

NOTE: An isolator with a diode, a solenoid, or a battery selector switch is usually mounted in the circuit to isolate the batteries so the starting battery is not discharged along with the house batteries.

If

the isolator is charging the starting battery but not the house battery, the alternator is Ok and the problem is in the battery charging circuit.

TESTING THE ALTERNATOR

A

CAUTION:

Before starling the engine make cerlain that everyone Is clear of moving parts! Keep away from sheaves and belts during test procedures.

1. Start the engine.

2. After the engine has run for a few minutes, measure the starting battery voltage at the battery terminals using a multimeter set on DC volts. a. If the voltage is increasing toward 14 volts, the alternator is working; omit Steps 3 through 8 and go directly to "Checking the Servic~ Battery". b.Ifthe voltage remains around 12 volts, a problem exists with either the alternator or the charging circuit; continue with Steps 3 through 8.

3. Thrn off the engine. Inspect all wiring and connections.

Ensure that the battery terminals and the engine ground connections are tight and clean.

4. If a battery selector switch is in the charging circuit, ensure that it is on the correct setting.

S. 'furn on the ignition switch, but do not start the engine.

6. Check the battery voltage. If the battery is in good condition, the reading should be 12 to 13 volts.

MEASURING

BATTERY VOLTAGE

(IGNITION ON

ENGINE OFF)

Testing The Output Circuit

1. Connect the positive probe to the output terminal B and connect the negative probe to the ground terminal E on the alternator.

2. Wiggle the engine wiring harness while observing the voltmeter. The meter should indicate the approximate battery voltage, and should not vary. If no reading is obtained, or if the reading varies, check the alternator output circuit for loose or dirty connections or damaged wiring.

3. Start the engine.

4. Repeat the same measurement, the negative probe to E, the positive probe to B with the engine running. The voltage reading should be between 13.5 and 14.5 volts.

If your alternator is over or under-charging, have it repaired at a reliable service shop.

5. If the previous test reads only battery voltage at terminal B use the meter to measure the DC excitation terminal. If 12 volts is not present at exciter terminal

R, inspect the wiring for breaks and poor connections.

Jump 12 volts from a 12 volt source (such as the battery) and operate the alternator. If voltage output is

13-14 volts, then the alternator is OK.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position and note the multimeter reading. The reading should be 1.3 to

2.5 volts (see illustration).

5. If no reading is obtained, an open exists in the alternator-excitation lead or in the excitation circuit of the regulator. Disconnect the lead from exe. terminal R.

Connect the positive multimeter probe to the excitation lead and the negative multimeter probe to ground terminal E. If the multimeter now indicates an approximate battery voltage, the voltage regulator is defective and must be replaced. If no voltage is indicated, check the excitation circuit for loose or dirty connections or damaged wiring.

Check the voltage of the service battery. This battery should have a voltage between 13 and 14 volts when the engine is running. If not, there is a problem in the service battery charging circuit. Troubleshoot the service battery charging circuit by checking the wiring and connections, the solenoid, isolator, battery switch, and the battery itself.

When the problem has been solved and before the alternator is back in operation, take the time to tighten and clean the terminal studs. Also clean the connecting tenninals from the wiring harness.,

ALTERNATOR REPAIR

If tests indicate a failed alternator, it will need to be disassembled and repaired. Any good alternator service shop can do the job.

NOTE: WESTERBEKE'S Service Manual has detailed instructions for the disassembly and repair of their standard altemators.

3. If the reading is between .75 and 1.1 volts, the rotor field circuit probably is shorted or grounded.

4. If the reading is between 6.0 and 7.0 volts, the rotor field circuit probably is open.

BATTERY CARE

The minimum recommended capacity of the battery used in the engine's 12 volt DC control circuit is 600-900 Cold

Cranking Amps (CCA).

Review the manufacturer's recommendations and then establish a systematic maintenance schedule for your engine's starting batteries and house batteries.

• Monitor your voltmeter for proper charging during engine operation.

• Check the electrolyte level and specific gravity with a hydrometer.

• Use only distilled water to bring electrolytes to a proper level.

• Make certain that battery cable connections are clean and tight to the battery posts (and to your engine).

TROUBLESHOOTING COOLANT TEMPERATURE AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES

If Ihe gauge reading is other dlatl what is normally indicated by Ihe gauge when Ihe instrument panel is energized, the first step is to check for 12 volts DC between dle ignition (B+) and Ihe Negative (B-) terminals of Ihe gauge.

Assuming Ihat Ihere is 12 volts as required, leave Ihe instrument panel energized and perrorm Ihe following steps:

If both of the above gauge tests are positive, the gauge is undoubtedly OK and the problem lies either with the conductor from the sender to the gauge or with the sender.

If either of the above gauge tests are negative, the gauge is probably defective and should be replaced.

Assuming the gauge is OK., check the conductor from the sender to the sender terminal at the gauge for continuity. 1. Disconnect the sender wire at Ihe gauge and see if the gauge reads zero, which is dle normal reading for this situation.

2. Remove the wire attached to the sender terminal at Ihe sender and connect it to ground. See if the gauge reads

. full scale, which is the normal reading for driB situation.

Check that the engine block is connected to the ground.

Some starters have isolated ground terminals and if the battery is connected to the starter (both plus and minus le11Ilinals), the ground side will not necessarily be connected to the block.

ENGINE ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE: WESTERBEKE recommends that the following engine adjustments be performed by a competent engine mechanic. The information below is provided to assist the mechanic.

ENGINE IDLING SPEED

The engine idling speed is pre-set at the factory but once the boat is operating in the water other variables such as propeller size, shaft length, and the transmission can affect the idle speed.

The normal idle speed for these engines is 650-950 RPM, however, simply put, the idle speed should feel comfortable.

It should be quiet and smooth, not racing but not so low that it causes transmission damper plate chatter.

INJECTION PUMP SERVICE

For disassembly, inspection, reassembly and internal adjustments of the injection pump, it is recommended the pump be taken to a qualified injection service shop authorized to service Diesel KiKi or Zexel injection equipment.

SETTING THE IDLING SPEED

To adjust the engine idle speed (engine running), loosen the locknut of the idle adjustment bolt and tum the bolt clockwise to increase idle speed and counterclockwise to reduce. Once the speed is set to your satisfaction, tighten the locknut.

ENGINE STOP SOLENOID

This solenoid is insralled on the top rear of the injection pump and is activated by 12 VDC electrical current.

Troubleshooting

1. The solenoid does not operate when the keyswitch is turned "ON". a. Are the engine batteries turned "ON"? b. Is the 20 amp circuit breaker set? c. Is 12 VDC present at the solenoid connection ?

2. The solenoid does not stop the engine when

~ the keyswitch is switched ''OFF'', r a. Check to see if 12 VDC is still present t-

PLUNGER at the solenoid electrical lead with the key off. b.Remove solenoid from injection pump and ensure plunger and spring in the solenoid are not sticking.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP (TOP)

ENGINE COMPRESSION

Check the compression pressure. To do this, warm the engine? remove all fuel injectors, or glow plugs, disconnect the fuel shut-off solenoid wire, and install a compression adapter in the injector hole or glow plug hole. Connect a compression tester on the adapter and crank the engine with the starter motor until the pressure reaches a maximum value.

Repeat this process for each cylinder. Look for cylinders with dramatically (at least 20%) lower compression than the average of the others. Compression pressure should not differ by more than 42.7 psi (3.0 kg/cm 2

) at 200 rpm.

If a weak cylinder is flanked by healthy cylinder, the problem is either valve or piston related. Check the valve clearances for the weak cylinder, adjust as needed and test again.

If the cylinder is still low, apply a small amount of oil into the cylinder to seal the rings and repeat the test

If compression comes up - the rings are faulty.

TACHOMETER

TACHOMETER/HOUR METER

The tachometerlhour meter used in propulsion engine instrument panels contains two separate electrical circuits with a common ground. One circuit operates the hour meter and the other the taehometer. The hour meter circuit operates on 12 volts alternator charging voltage supplied to the (+) terminal on the baek of the instrument.

The tachometer circuit operates on AC voltage 6-8 volts, fed from one of the diodes in the alternator and supplied to the tachometer input telminal while the engine is running, and the alternator producing battery charging voltage 13.0-14.8 volts DC.

The following are proeedures to follow when troubleshooting a fault in either of the two cireuits in a tachometerlhour meter.

Hour meter Inoperative

Check for the proper DC voltage between (+) and (-) terminals.

1. Voltage present meter is defective repair or replace.

2. Voltage not present trace (+) and (-) electrical connections for fault. (Jump 12 volts DC to meter (+) terminal to verify the operation.)

Tachometer Inoperative

Check for the proper AC voltage between tachometer input tenninal and (-) tenninal with the engine running.

1. Voltage present attempt adjusting meter through calibration access hole. No results, repair or replace meter.

2. AC voltage not present check for proper alternator DC output voltage.

3. Check for AC voltage at tach tenninal on alternator to ground.

4. Check electrical connections from tachometer input terminal to alternator connection.

Tachometer Sticking

1. Check for proper AC voltage between "tach inp." terminal and (-) terminal.

2. Check for good ground connection between meter (-) terminal and alternator.

3. Check that alternator is well grounded to engine block at alternator pivot bolt.

Tachometer Inaccurate a. With a hand-held tach on the front of the crankshaft pulley retaining nut or with a strobe-type tach, read the front crankshaft pulley rpm at idle. b. Adjust the tachometer with a small Phillips type screwdriver through the calibration access hole in the rear of the tachometer. Zero the tach and bring it to the rpm indicated by the strobe or hand tach. (Verify the rpm at idle and at high speed and adjust the tach as needed).

NOTE: Current model tachometers use a coarse adjustment dial to set the tachometer to the crankshaft pulley rpms. The calibrating screw is then used for fine tuning.

) TERMINAL

CALIBRATION

TACHOMETER CHECK (New Installation)

NOTE: In a new installation having new instrument panels, the tachometer may not always be correctly calibrated to the engine's rpm. This calibration should be checked in all new installations.

1. Warm up the engine to nonnal operating temperature,

Remove any specks on the crankshaft pulley with a clean cloth and place a piece of suitable reflecting tape on the pulley to facilitate use of a photoelectric type tachometer.

2. Start and idle the engine.

3. Aim the light of the tachometer onto the reflecting tape to confirm the engine speed. Check the instrument panel tachometer reading. Adjust the tachometer in the panel by using the instrument coarse adjustment to calibrate the instrument reading to the closest R.P.M. that the photo tach is showing, Then use the fine calibration adjustment to bring the instrument to the exact reading as the photo tach.

4. Set the tachometer to the idle speed (the engine idle speed has been factory adjusted and the idle screws and high speed screws have been locked in place). r r ill

OIL PRESSURE

NOTE: WESTERBEKE recommends that the following engine adjustments he peifomled by a competent engine mechanic.

The infomtation below is provided to assist the mechanic.

DESCRIPTION

The lubricating system is a pressure feeding system using an oil pump. The engine oil is drawn from the oil sump by the oil pump, which drives the oil, under pressure, through the oil filter and various lubricating points in the engine. The oil then returns to the oil sump to repeat the continuous cycle.

When the oil pressurc exceeds the specified pressure, the oil pushes open the relief valve in the oil pump and returns to the oil sump, keeping the oil pressure within its specified range.

OIL PRESSURE

The engine's oil pressure, during operation, is indicated by the oil pressure gauge on the ins1n1ment panel. During normal operation, the oil pressure will range between 40 and

85 psi.

NOTE: A newly started, cold engine can have an oil pressure reading up to 85 psi. A warmed engine can have an oil pressure reading as low as 25 psi. These readings win vary depending upon the temperature of the engine and the 'pms.

TESTING OIL PRESSURE

To test the oil pressure, remove the oil pressure sender, then install a mechanical oil pressure gauge in it's place. After warming up the engine, set the engine speed at 1800 rpm and read the oil pressure gauge.

Oil Pressure Between 55 and 75 psi at 1800 rpm.

Note: A newly started (cold) engine may have an oil pressure up to 70 or 80 psi. A warmed engine can have an oil pressure as low as 40 psi. Oil pressure will vary depending on the load placed on the generator.

Low OH Pressure

The specified safe minimum oil pressure is 5 - 10 psi. A gradual loss of oil pressure usually indicates worn bearings.

For additional information on low oil pressure readings, see the ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING chart.

Testing Oil Pressure

To test oil pressure, remove the oil pressure sender then install a mechanical oil pressure gauge in its place. After warming up the engine, set the engine speed at idle and read the oil pressure gauge.

DESCRIPTION

The information below is specific to the ZF Transmissions, the TRANSMISSION TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION applies to aU models.

CONNECTION OF GEAR BOX WITH PROPELLER

HEW recommend a flexible connection between the transmission gearbox and the propeller shaft if the engine is flexibly mounted, in order to compensate for angular deflections. The installation of a special propeller thrust bearing is not required, since the propeller thrust will be taken by the transmission bearing, provided the value specified under SPECIFICATIONS is not exceeded.

However, the output shaft should be protected from additional loads. Special care should be taken to prevent torsional vibration. When using a universal joint shaft, make certain to observe the manufacturers instructions.

Even with the engine solidly mounted, the use of flexible coupling or "DRIVESAVER" will reduce stress in the gearbox bearings caused by hull distortions, especially in wooden boats or where the distance between transmission output flange and stem gland is less than about 800mm.

,./'-

ZF MARINE TRANSMISSIONS

ZF 15M

NOTE: When installing the transmission, make certain that shifting is not impeded by restricted movability of the

Bowden cable or rod linkage, by unsuitably positioned guide sheaves, too small a bending radius, etc. In order to mount a support for shift control cable connections, use the two threaded holes located above the shift cover on top of the gear housing. Refer to the WESTERBEKE parts list.

CONTROL CABLES

The transmission is suitable for single lever remote control.

Upon loosening the retaining screw, the actuating lever can be moved to any position required for the control elements

(cable or rod linkage). Make certain that the shift lever does not contact the actuating lever cover plate: the minimum distance between lever and cover should be O.5mm.

The control cable or rod should be arranged at right angle to the actuating shift lever when in the neutral position. The neutral position of the operating lever on the control console should coincide with the neutral position of this lever.

The shifting travel, as measured at the pivot point of the actuating lever, between the neutral position and end positions A and B should be at least 35mm for the outer and

30mm for the inner pivot point.

A greater amount of shift lever travel is in no way detrimental and is recommended. However, if the lever travel is shorter, proper clutch engagement might be impeded which, in tum, would mean premature wear, excessive heat generation and clutch plate failure. This would be indicated by slow clutch engagement or no engagement at all.

NOTE Checkfor proper lever travel at least each season.

INITIAL OPERATION

All HBW marine transmissions are test-run on with the engine at the factory prior to delivery. a test stand

For safety reasons the fluid is drained before shipment.

FilI the gearbox with Automatic Transmission Fluid

(DEXRON

n

or DEXTRON ill). The fluid lev~l should be up to the index mark on the dipstick. To check the fluid level, just insert the dipstick, do not screw it in. Screw the dipstick into the case after the fluid level is checked and tighten. Do . not forget the sealing ring under the hexhead of the dipstick.

Check for leaks and change the fluid after the first 25 hours, also make a visual inspection of the coupling, oil cooler and hoses, and shift cables.

FLUID LEVEL

OPERATING TEMPERATURE

The maximum pennissible ATF temperature should not exceed

230" (110°). This temperature can only be reached for a short time.

A

CAUTION:

If the transmission Huld temperature Is too high# stop the engine immediately and check the transmissiou Huld.

LOCKING THE PROPELLER

Locking of the propeller shaft by an additional brake is not required: use the gear shift lever position opposite your direction of travel for this pUlpose. Never put the gear shift in the position corresponding to the direction of travel of the boat.

WHEN UNDER SAIL OR BEING TOWED

Rotation of the propeller without load, such as when the boat is being sailed, being towed, or anchored in a river, as well as operation of the engine with the propeller stopped (for charging the battery), will have no detrimental effects on the transmission

DAILY OPERATION

o

Check the transmission fluid.

VIsually check the gear shift linkage and tiansrnission. o

Start the engine in neutral, allowing a few minutes at idle to wann the fluid. o

Shift into gear.

NOTE: Too low an idle speed will produce a chattering noise from the transmission gear and damper plate. In such cases the idle speed should be increased

For additional infonnation refer to the following text in this

Transmission Section: SHAFT COUPLINGS, MAINTENANCE

AND TRANSMISSION TROUBLESHOOTING.

FLUID CHANGE

Change the fluid for the first time after about 25 hours of operation, then every 250 operating hours or at least once a year or when you change engine oil.

Removing the fluid

Push a suction pump hose down through the dipstick hole to the bottom of the housing and suck out the fluid. (If space allows, use the transmission drain). Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the transmission and allow the fluid to drain into a container, then reinstall the plug with its sealing washer. Wipe down the transmission and properly dispose of the used fluid. After running the engine, shut down and recheck the fluid level.

Drain plug torque 20 • 25 fI/Ibs

NOTE: When changing the fluid, take care not to lose the drain plug sealing washer. The drain plug wiilleak without this sealing washer.

SHIPMENT

For safety reasons, the transmission is not filled with transmission fluid during shipment and the selector lever is temporarily attached to the actuating shaft.

Before leaving the WESTERBEKE plant, each transmission undergoes a test run, with Dextron /II ATF transmission fluid.

The residual fluid remaining in the transmission after draining acts as a preservative and provides protection against corrosion for at least one year if properly stored.

TRANSMISSION FLUID

Fill the transmission with Dextron III ATF. The fluid level should be up to the mark on the dipstick. After checking the level, press the dipstick into the case and ~

During the first 25 operating hours, inspect the bell housing, output shaft and transmission cooler for leakage. The fluid should be changed after the first 25 hours and every 300 hours thereafter.

NEUTRAL SWITCH

These transmissions are equipped with a neutral safety switch. This is to prevent the engine from starting in gear.

Unless the transmission selector lever is perfectly aligned in neutral, the engine starter will not activate.

INITIAL OPERATION

Set the shifting lever to neutral position (N). Start the engine and let it run long enough in idle to fill the cooler and hoses with transmission fluid. Shift into gear, forward and reverse; shifting should be smooth and positive. Direct changes from forward to reverse are permissible since the multiple disc clutch permits changing at high rpm including sudden reversing at high speeds in the event of danger.

After initial operation, make a visuaI inspection of the output coupling, oil cooler and hoses, and the cable connections to the transmission.

LOCKING THE PROPELLER

Locking of the propellyr shaft by an additional brake is not required: use the gear shift lever position opposite your direction of travel for this purpose. Never put the gear shift in the position corresponding to the direction of travel of the boat.

WHEN UNDER SAIL OR BEING TOWED

Rotation of the propeller without a load, such as when the boat is being sailed, being towed or anchored in a river, as well as operation of the engine with the propeller stopped

(for charging the battery), will have no detrimental effects on the transmission.

NOTE: When the boat is being sailed (engine stopped), the gear shift must be in the neutral position. The propeller is at idle and can free-wheel.

DAILY OPERATION

o

Check the transmission fluid.

Visually check the gear shift linkage and transmission.

Start the engine in neutral, allowing a few minutes at idle to warm the fluid.

D

Shift into gear.

NOTE: Too Iowan idle speed will produce a chattering noise from the transmission gear and damper plate. In such cases the idle speed should be increased.

Operating Temperature

The operating temperature of the transmission should not exceed 176°F (80°C). A connection for a temperature probe is provided. At maximum output of the engine, the fluid may reach 220°F (104 0c).

Filter Element

The ZF transmission has a filter element located opposite the dipstick. This filter must be replaced whenever the fluid is changed.

Remove the filter by loosening the screw on the cover using a 6mm Allen wrench.

1\vist and pull out the filter and remove the element. Place the new filter onto the cover and lock it into place by turning it clockwise. Check the O-rings for damage and replace if necessary. Replacement filters can be obtained from your local WESTERBEKE dealer or ZF dealer.!>

Removing the Fluid

Push a suction pump hose down through the pipe hole (under the filter) to the bottom of the housing and suck out the fluid.

Remove the oil return line from the cooler and allow the oil to drain into a container, then reconnect the oil return line.

Wipe down the transmission and properly dispose of the used fluid.

MAINTENANCE

Transmission maintenance is minimal. Keep the exterior housing clean, check the fluid level as part of your regular routine, and change the fluid every 300 operating hours.

Periodically inspect the transmission and the cooler for leaks and corrosion. Make certain the air vent is clear and when checking the fluid level look for signs of water contamination

(fluid will appear as strawberry cream).

Lay-up/Winterize

Storage requires special care. Follow these procedures:

D Drain water from the transmission oil cooler and replace with a proper mixture of antifreeze coolant

NOTE: This operation wiU nonnally occur when the engine raw water cooling system is properly winterized.

Clean up the transmission and touch up unpainted areas

(use heat resistant paint). o

Fill the transmission with Dextron III ATF fluid to prevent internal corrosion (extended storage only, twelve months or more).

Loosen attaching hardwarf? from the transmission output flange and propeller shaft coupling flange before removing the boat from the water. Separate the flanges and spray with lubricant. o

Inspect the gear shift cable, linkage, and attachments.

Look for corrosion of the end fittings, cracks or cuts in the conduit, and bending of the actuator rods. Lubricate

all moving parts.

NOTE: If the transmission is to be stored for a long time

(twelve months or more), it slwuid be topped offwith fluid to prevent internal corrosion. Reduce thf' fl1lii/ level before putting the engine back into service.

The transmission is suitable for a single lever gear shift.

Upon loosening the retaining screw, the actuating lever (see illustration) can be moved to any position required for the control elements (cable or rod linkage). Make certain that the actuating lever does not contact the lever hub: the minimum distance between the lever and the hub should be O.02in

(O.5mm).

The control cable or rod should be arranged at a right angle to the actuating lever when in the neutral position. The neutral position of the gear shift lever on the control console should coincide with the neutral position of the lever on the transmission.

The shifting travel, as measured at the pivot point of the actuating lever between the neutral position and end positions

SHAFT COUPLINGS

WESTERBEKE recommends a flexible conneCtion between the transmission and the propeller shaft if the engine is flexibly mounted, in order to compensate for angular deflections.

The installation of a special propeller thrust bearing is not required, since the propeller thrust will be absorbed by the transmission bearing, provided the value specified under

SPECIFICATIONS is not exceeded. However, the output shaft should be protected from additional loads. Special care should be taken to prevent torsional vibration. When using a universal joint shaft, make certain to observe the manufacturer's instructions.

Even with the engine solidly mounted the use of a flexible coupling or "DRNESAVER" will reduce stress in the gearbox bearings caused by hull distortions, especially in wooden boats or where the distance between the transmission output coupling and stem gland is less than about 800nnn.

NOTE: When installing the transmission, make certain tlwt shifting

is

not impedR.d by restricted movability of the cable or rod linkage, by unsuitably positioned guide sheaves, too small a bending radius or other r€,5trictions. In order to mount a support for shift control cable connections, use the two threaded lwles located on the cable bracket mounted on the gear lwusing. Refer to the WESTERBEKE parts list.

TRANSMISSION COOLER

Coolers are standard equipment for the ZF 10M, ZF 12M,

ZF 15M, ZF 15MA, ZF 15MIV; and the ZF 25M.

The cooler is a separate part of the transmission which prevents any possibilities of coolant diluting the transmission fluid. However, the continued flow of coolant thru the cooler will, in time, erode the inside of the cooler causing external leaks.

A transmission cooler may last ten years or more but, in some circumstances, depending on operating hours, tropical waters, maintenance, etc. it might only last half that time.

WESTERBEKE recommends having a spare cooler aboard.

TRANSMISSION TROUBLESHOOTING [ZF]

CONTROL CABLES

The majority of transmission difficulties arise as a result of improper clutch adjustments (manual transmissions) or problems with control cables (hydraulic transmissions) rather than fTom problems with the transmission itself.

ZF clutches, in particular, are very sensitive to improper cable adjustments.

If you experience operating problems with the transmission, shut the engine down. First check the transmission-fluid level, then have a helper move the cockpit shift lever through the full range from neutral to full forward, back to neutral, into full reverse, and back to neutral - while you observe the actuating lever on the transmission. If the remote is stiff to operate, break the cable loose at the transmission and try again. If it is still stiff, check the cable for kinks or excessively tight bends, and check any linkage for binding.

A new cable and perhaps a new linkage mechanism may be needed. While the cable is loose, shift the transmission in and out of gear using the lever on the side of the transmission to make sure there's no binding inside the case.

If the transmission passes these tests, crank the engine and have a helper put it in forward and reverse while you observe the propeller shaft; if the shaft isn't turning, the transmission needs professional attention. If it does tum but there's no thrust, check to see you still have a propeller on the end of the shaft or, if you have a folding or feathering propeller, that it isn't stuck in the "no pitch" position.

NOTE: lfyou suspect a major problem in your transmission, immediately contact your WESTERBEKE dealer or an autlwrized marine transmission facility.

VELVET nRIVE

, TRANSlV!ISSION. SHIPMENT

For safety reasons, the transmission is not filled with transmission fluid during shipment and the selector lever is temporarily attached to the actuating shaft.

Before leaving the WESlERBEKE plant, each transmission undergoes a test run, with Dextron III ATF transmission fluid. The residual fluid remaining in the transmission after draining acts as a preservative and provides protection against corrosion for at least one year if properly stored.

TRANSMISSION fLUID

Check the transmission fluid level on the dipstick. If transmission has not been filled, fill with Dextran III and continue to use this fluid. During the first 25 hours of operation, keep a lookout for any leakage at the bell housing, output shaft and transmission cooler. This fluid should be changed after the first 25 hours and approximately every

300 operating hours thereafter andlor at winter lay-up.

A

CAUTION: Bs CBrtain the transmission Is filled and the correct size cooler is properly instal/ed before starting the engine.

SHIFT LEVER POSITION

The gear shift control mechanism and linkage must position the actuating lever on the transmission exactly in Forward

(F), Neutral (N), and Reverse (R) shifting positions. A dete])t ball located behind the transmission lever must work freely to center the lever in each position. The gear shift positions at the helm must be coordinated with those of the Velvet Drive actuating lever through shift mechanism adjustments. An

, improperly adjusted shift mechanism can cause damage to the transmission. The shifting mechanism and transmission actuating lever should be free of dirt and well lubricated to ensure proper operation.

Shifting Into Gear

Place the gear shift in Neutral before starting the engine.

Shifting from one selector position to another selector position may be made at any time below 1000 rpm and in any order. Shifts should be made at the lowest practical engine speed. Start the engine and set the throttle at idle speed; allow the transmission fluid to warm up for a few minutes.

Neutral

Move the gear shift lever to the middle position. You should feel the detent. This centers the actuating lever on the transmission. With the control in this position, hydraulic power is completely interrupted and the output shaft of the transmission does not turn.

NOTE: Some transmissions are equipped with a neutral safety switch. Unless the transmission actuating lever is perfectly aligned in neutral, the engine starter will not activate.

Forward

Move the gear shift lever to the forward position. You should feel the detent. The actuating lever· on the transmission is in the forward position. The output shaft and the propeller shaft move the boat in a forward direction.

Reverse

Move the gear shift lever to the reverse position. You should feel the detent. The actuating lever on the transmission is in the reverse position. The output shaft and the propeller should move the boat in a reverse direction (astern).

NOTE: Moving the transmission actuati:n.g lever from Neutral

Position to Forward is always toward the engine. Reverse is always away from the engine.

If

boat moves backwards with the gear shift control in the forward position, shut off the engine! This problem may be a result of incorrect movement of the actuating lever by the gear shift lever.

MAINTENANCE

Transmission maintenance is minimaL Keep the exterior housing clean, check the fluid level as part of your regular routine, and change the fluid every 300 operating hOUTS.

Periodically inspect the transmission and the cooler for leaks and corrosion. Make certain the air vent is clear and when checking the fluid level look for signs of water contamination

(fluid will appear as strawberry cream).

Lay"up/Winterize

Storage requires special care. Follow these procedures: o

Drain the water from the transmission oil cooler and replace it with a proper mixture of antifreeze coolant.

NOTE: This operation will usually occur when the engine raw water cooling system is properly winterized. o

Clean up the transmission and touch-up unpainted areas

(use heat resistant paint). o

Fill the transmission with Dextron

fluid to prevent internal corrosion. (Extended storage only,

12 months or more). o

Loosen attaching hardware froin the transmission output flange and propeller shaft coupling flange before removing the boat from the water. Separate the flanges and spray with lubricant. o

Inspect the gear shift cable, linkage, and attachments.

Look for corrosion of the end fittings, cracks or cuts in the conduit, and bending of the actuator rods. Lubricate all moving parts.

NOTE: ljthe transmission is to be storedfor a long time

Tel.: (508) 979-4881

BORG WARNER is aware of the shock loads that can be placed on its gears as the result of mechanical propeller operation or fully reversing of the propeller blades while shifting.

Therefore torque loads and directional changes should be made at low engine speeds. If it is found that a failure was caused by a shock load, any warranty claim will be denied.

A

CAUTION:

System-related noises or vibrations can occur at low engine speeds which can cause gear rattle resulting in damage to the engine and/or transmission.

BORG WARNER is not responsible for total systemrelated torsional vibration of this type.

If any problems occur with the transmission, see

TRANSMISSION TROUfJLESHOOTING in this manual.

OIL COOLERS

The continued flow of raw water through the cooler will, in time, erode the inside of the cooler causing cross leaks to occur. These internal cooler leaks will cause one of the following two problems:

1. Transmission fluid will leak into the flow of raw water and be discharged overboard through the engine exhaust.

A loss of transmission

fluid

will cause tlze transmission to faiL

2. The raw water will leak into the transmission fluid causing an increase in transmission fluid. This contaminated fluid will appear as strawberry cream. The transmission will eventually fail.

Either case requires an immediate response:

1. Install a new oil cooler.

2. Refill the transmission with DEXTRON III ATF.

If water has contaminated the fluid, the transmission fluid needs to be cleaned out and replaced with fresh fluid. It will take several fluid changes to get rid of the contamination.

Check your dipstick each time until it appears as pure transmission fluid. Change the transmission filter and clean out the fluid lines that connect to the cooler.

If the transmission fails to shift properly, it will most likely need the attention of a qualified transmission service facility.

A transmission cooler may last ten years or more but, in some circumstances. depending on operating hours, tropical waters, maintenance, etc. it might only last half that time.

WESTERBEKE recommends having a spare cooler aboard.

LAY-UP & RECOMMISSIONING

GENERAL

Many owners rely on their boatyards to prepare their craft, including engines and generators, for lay-up during the off-season or for long periods of inactivity. Others prefer to accomplish lay-up preparation themselves.

The procedures which follow will allow you to perform your own lay-up and recommissioning, or you may use them as a check list if others do the procedures.

These procedures should afford your engine protection during a lay-up and also help familiarize you with the maintenance needs of your engine.

If you have any questions regarding lay-up procedures, call your local servicing dealer; he will be more than willing to provide assistance.

Propeller Shaft Coupling [Propulsion Engine]

The transmission and propeller half couplings should always be opened up and the bolts removed when the boat is hauled out of the. water or moved from land to water, and during storage in the cradle. The flexibility of the boat often puts a severe strain on the propeller shaft or coupling or both, while the boat is taken out or put in the water. In some cases, the shaft has actually been bent by these strains. This does not apply to small boats that are hauled out of the water when not in use, unless they have been dry for a considerable period of time.

Fresh Water Cooling Circuit [Propulsion Engine]

A 50-50 solution of antifreeze and distilled water is recommended for use in the coolant system at all times.

This solution may require a higher concentration of antifreeze, depending on the area's winter climate. Check the solution to make sure the antifreeze protection is adequate.

Should more antifreeze be needed, drain an appropriate amount from the engine block and add a more concentrated mixture. Operate the engine to ensure a complete circulation and mixture of the antifreeze concentration throughout the cooling system. Now recheck the antifreeze solution's strength.

Lubrication System

With the engine warm, drain all the engine oil from the oil sump. Remove and replace the oil filter and fill the sump with new oil. Use the correct grade of oil. Refer to the

ENGINE LUBRICATING OIL pages in this manual for the oil changing procedure. Run the engine and check for proper oil pressure and make sure there are no leaks.

A

CAUTION: 00 not leave the enginets old engine oil in the sump over the lay-up period. Lubricating oil and combustion deposits combine to produce harmful chemicals which can reduce the life of your ~nginets internal parts. .

Fuel System [Gasoline]

Top off your fuel tanks with unleaded gasoline of 89 octane or higher. A fuel conditioner such as Sta-Bil gasoline stabilizer should be added. Change the element in your gasoline/water separator and clean the metal bowL Re-install and make certain there are no leaks. Clean up any spilled fuel.

Fuel System [Diesel]

Top off your fuel tanks with No.2 diesel fueL Fuel additives such as BioBor and Sta-Bil should be added at this time to control algae and condition the fueL Care should be taken that the additives used are compatible with the primary fuel filter/water separator used in the system. Change the element in your primary fuel filter/water separator, if the fuel system has one, and clean the separator sediment bowL

Change the fuel filter elements on the engine and bleed the fuel system, as needed. Start the engine and allow it to run for 5 - 10 minutes to make sure no air is left in the fuel system. Check for any leaks that may have been created in the fuel system during this servicing, correcting them as needed. Operating the engine for 5 10 minutes will help allow movement of the treated fuel through the injection equipment on the engine.

Raw Water Cooling Circuit

Close the through-hull seacock. Remove the raw water intake hose from the seacock. Place the end of this hose into a five gallon bucket of clean fresh water. Before starting the engine, check the zinc anode found in the primary heat exchanger on the engine and clean or replace it as required, and also clean any zinc debris from inside the heat exchanger where the zinc anode is located. Clean the raw water strainer.

Start the engine and allow the raw water pump to draw the fresh water through the system. When the bucket is empty, stop the engine and refill the bucket with an antifreeze solution slightly stronger than needed for winter freeze protection in your area.

Start the engine and allow all of this mixture to be drawn through the raw water system. Once the bucket is empty, stop the engine. This antifreeze mixture should protect the raw water circuit from freezing during the winter lay-up, as well as providing corrosion protection.

Remove the impeller from your raw water pump (some antifreeze mixture will accompany it, so catch it in a bucket).

Examine the impeller. Acquire a replacement, if needed, and a cover gasket. Do not replace the impeller (into the pump) until recommissioning, but replace the cover and gasket.

Intake Manifold and Thru-Hull Exhaust

Place a clean cloth, lightly soaked in lubricating oil, in the opening of the intake manifold to block the opening. Do not shove the cloth out of sight. (If it is not visible at recommissioning, and an attempt is made to start the engine, you may_ need assistance of the servicing dealer. Make a note to remove the cloth prior to start-up. The thru-hull exhaust port can be blocked in the same manner.

&

RECOMMISSIONING

Starter Motor

Lubrication and cleaning of the starter drive pinion is advisable, if access to the starter permits its easy removal. Make sure the battery connections are shut off before attempting to remove the starter. Take care in properly replacing any electrical connections removed from the starter.

Cylinder Lubrication [Diesel]

If you anticipate a long lay-up period (12 months or more)

WESTERBEKE recommends removing the fuel injectors for access to the cylinders. Squirt light lubricating oil into the cylinders to prevent the piston rings from sticking to the cylinder walls.

Make sure you have a replacements for the injector and return line sealing washers.

Intake Manifold [Gasoline]

Clean the filter screen in the flame arrester, and place a clean cloth lightly soaked in lube oil around the flame arrester to block any opening. Also place an oil-soaked cloth in the through-hull exhaust port, Make a note to remove cloths prior to start-up!

Cylinder Lubrication [Gasoline]

Spray fogging oil into the open air intake, with the flame arrester removed, while the engine is running. The fogging oil will stall out the engine and coat the valves, cylinders and spark plugs for winter protection.

NOTE: The spark plugs will need to be removed for cleaning and re-gapping at spring commissioning.

Batteries

If batteries are to be left on board during the lay-up period, make sure that they are fully charged, and will remain that way, to prevent them from freezing. If there is any doubt that the batteries will not remain fully charged, or that they will be subjected to severe environmental conditions, remove the batteries and store them in a warmer, more compatible environment.

A

WARNING:

Lead acid batteries emit hydrogen, a highly-explosive gas, which can be ignited by electrical arcing or a lighted Cigarette, cigar, or pipe. Do not smoke or allow an open flame near the battery being serviced. Shut off all electrical equipment in the vicinity to prevent electrical arcing during servicing.

Transmission [Propulsion Engine]

Check or change the fluid in the transmission as required Wipe off grime and grease and touch up any unpainted areas. Protect the coupling and the output flange with an anti-corrosion coating. Check that the transmission vent is open. For additional information, refer to the TRANSMISSION SECTION.

Spare Parts

Lay-up time provides a good opportunity to inspect your

Westerbeke engine to see if external items such as drive belts or coolant hoses need replacement. Check your basic spares kit and order items not on hand, or replace those items used during the lay-up, such as filters and zinc anodes. Refer to the

SPARE PARTS section of this manual.

RecommiSSioning

The recommissioning of your Westerbeke engine after a seasonal lay-up generally follows the same procedures as those described in the PREPARATIONS FOR STARTING section regarding preparation for starting and normal starts.

However, some of the lay-up procedures will need to be counteracted before starting the engine.

1. Remove the oil-soaked cloths from the intake manifold.

2. Remove the raw water pump cover and gasket and discard the old gasket. Install the raw water pump impeller removed during lay-up (or a replacement, if required).

Install the raw water pump cover with a new cover gasket.

3. Reinstall the batteries that were removed during the lay-up, and reconnect the battery cables, making sure the terminals are clean and that the connections are tight.

Check to make sure that the batteries are fully charged.

A

CAUTION:

Wear rubber gloves, a rubber apron, and eye protection when servicing batteries. Lead acid batteries emit hydrogen, a highly explosive gas, which

can be ignited by electrical arcing Dr a lighted cigarette, cigar, or pipe. Do not smoke Dr allow an open

Bame near the battery being serviced. Shut off all electrical equipment in the vicinity to prevent electrical arcing during serviCing.

4. Remove the spark plugs, wipe clean, re-gap, and install to proper tightness {gasoline].

5. Check the condition of the zinc anode in the raw water circuit and clean or replace the anode as needed. Note that it is not necessary to flush the antifreeze/fresh water solution from the raw water coolant system. When the engine is put into operation, the system will self-flush in a short period of time with no adverse affects. It is advisable, as either an end of season or recommissioning service, to inspect the area where the zinc is located in the heat exchanger and clear any and all zinc debris from that area.

6. Start the engine in accordance with procedures described in the PREPARATIONS FOR STARTING section of this manual.
