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.e;iliaust 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 hose must be certified for marine use. The system must be designed
to
prevent water from entering the exhaust under any sea conditions and
at
any angle
