CARBON
MONOXIDE
DETECTOR
WESTERBEKE
recommends
mounting a carbon monoxide
detector
in
the
vessels
living quarters.
Carbon
monoxide, _
even
in
small amounts, is deadly.
The
presence
of
carbon
monoxide indicates
an
exhaust leak
from
the
engine
or generator or
from
the
exhaust
elbow/exhaust
hose,
or
the
fumes
from a nearby
vessel
are
entering
your
boat.
If
carbon
monoxide
is
present, ventilate
the
area
with
clean
air
and
correct
the
problem immediately!
NOTE:
A carbon monoxide warning decal has been provided
by WESTERBEKE. Affix this decal in a visible position
in
the
engine
room.
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
of
the
same
general type
as
that of a gasoline
engine;
and
the
diesel
engine has the same types 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
maintenance of the fuel, lubricating and cooling
systems.
Replacement of fuel and lubricating filter elements
at
the
time
periods specified
is
a must, and frequent checking
for
contaffiination (that is,
water,
sediment, etc.)
in
the
fuel
system
is
also essential. Another important factor
is
the
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 done
away
with
and
in
their place
is
a single component -
the
fuel injection
pump
-
which
performs the function
of
both.
ORDERING
PARTS
Whenever replacement/service parts are needed,
always
provide
the
generator model number, engine serial
number,
and
generator serial number
as
they appear
on
the
silver
and
black
name
plate located on the generator
end.
You
must
provide
us
with
this
information so
we
may
properly
identify
your generator
set.
In
addition, include a complete part
description and part number for each part needed
(see
the
separately furnished Parts List). Also insist
upon
WESTERBEKE 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
WESTERBEKE generator.
Your
local
WESTERBEKE
dealer will assist
you
in preparing an inventory of
spare
parts.
See
the
SPARE PARTS page
in
this manual. For
Engine
and
Generator Accessories, see the ACCESSORIES
brochure.
