Installation manual
INSTALLATION
When installing WESTERBEKE engines and generators it is important that strict
attention
be
paid to the following information:
CODES
AND
REGULATIONS
Strict federal regulations, ABYC guidelines, and safety codes must be complied with
when installing engines and generators in a marine environment.
SIPHON-BREAK
For installations where the exhaust manifold/water injected.eXhaust elbow is close to
or will be below the vessel's waterline, provisions
mu~t
be made to install a siphon-
break 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/water injected exhaust elbow
is
near or below the loaded
water line
of
the vessel will result in
raw
water damage
to
the engine and possible
flooding
of
the
vessel.
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.
EXHAUST
SYSTEM
The exhaust system's hose MUST be certified for marine use. Conugated Mmine
Exhaust Hose
is
recommended. The use
of
this type
of
hose allows for extreme bends
and turns without the need
of
additiinal fitting and clamps to accomplish these bends
and turns .In this regard, a single length
of
conugated exhaust hose can be used. The
system
MUST be designed to prevent the entry
of
water into the exhaust system
under any sea conditions and at any angle
of
vessels heal.
