even after the nozzle is closed, as it pressurizes the
hose. Once the pressure setting is reached, the switch
opens and the pump stops.
Duty Cycle
Wash-down pumps are rated for intermittent duty
(only), as they operate at higher than average pres-
sures. Operating a pump continuously for more than
twenty (20) minutes, within an hour period, is not rec-
ommended. Actual duty cycle is determined by amp
draw, temperature, and rate of cycling.
Rapid cycling should be minimized to ensure long life.
Rapid cycling is defined as On/Off within two seconds.
Strainer/Filtration
A wash-down system is only as dependable as the
water available to pump. A strainer with adequate
capacity to trap debris must be part of the system. The
interval for cleaning will be determined by the amount
of debris encountered. Check the strainer regularly.
Your deck wash thru-hull is fitted with valve. Make
sure valve is open before turning on the pump. If you
run the pump dry, you will damage the pump and void
your warranty.
Swim Platform
If your Corsair Foiler 2200 is equipped with the
optional swim platform, there are several important
things to remember for safe use and operation of this
option.
> Always shut down the engine if persons will be
using the platform. Do not just settle for the
engine being in neutral.
> Make sure the folding ladder portion has been
properly stowed before getting underway.
Protection Against Electrolysis
It is the boat owner's responsibility to periodically
inspect and replace the sacrificial zinc anodes on the
outboard motor. Damage resulting from electrolytic
corrosion is not covered by Warranty.
Sacrificial zinc anodes, installed by the dealer or the
engine manufacturer, protect the hardware that is
exposed to the water. Electrolysis attacks the softest or
least "noble" metals first. Because zinc is a less
"noble" metal, it will decompose before the more
"noble" metals. Check these zinc anodes periodically
and have them replaced as required.
Bottom Paint
If you have bottom paint applied to your boat, choose
carefully. Make sure it is not copper based type paint.
Because the foil and outboard legs are manufactured
from alloys, the copper and alloy in seawater will cause
accelerated rate of corrosion and void your warranty.
