CAUTION
II
Prolonged cranking intervals without the engine starting can result in filling the engine-mounted
exhaust system with sea water coolant. This may happen because the sea water pump
is
pumping
sea
water
through
the
sea water cooling system during cranking. This sea water can
enter
the
engine's cylinders
by
way of the exhaust manifold once the exhaust system fills. Prevent this from
happening by closing the sea water supply through-hull shut-off, drain the exhaust muffler, and
correct
the
cause for the excessive engine cranking needed
to
obtain a start. Engine damage
resulting from this type of sea water entry
is
not a warrantable issue; the owner/operator should
keep this in mind.
Replacing the
Fuel Filter Element
While it is unlikely that the operator will
be
forced
to
service the system at sea, the possibility
does
exist.
Therefore, it is recommended that baojo washers, injectors seat washers, a fuel system hardware kit, fuel
filter and gasket be carried
on
board at all times. Select the parts
for
your engine
from
the Parts List and
purchase spares from your local Westerbeke Dealer or Distributor. For example,
fuel
filter kit #30200
includes replacement elements with gaskets (items
#21
and
20).
If
a leak should develop at a
fuel
banjo or
sealing washer location that cannot
be
remedied
by
a slight tightening, the sealing washers and banjo
bolts contained in the
fuel
system hardware kit for your particular
model
will
come
in handy
to
remedy
these leaks.
After the first
50
hours operation, loosen retainer ring
#23
and discard filter element
#21.
Clean bowl
#22
and install a
new
filter using a
new
#20
gasket. Be careful to catch any fuel
that
may spill from within
these fuel filter assemblies.
After the first
50-hour change, the change period
may
be
increased
to
200 hours or once per season.
The fuel pump has
no
filter element
within it. The only maintenance it
requires
is
to
ensure
the
connections
to
itm, both
fuel
and electrical, are
secure and tight and that
fuel
supplied
to
this pump
is
free of impurities.
