Make sure the fuel tank filler
is
properly sealed
to
prevent water entry should it become awash. The fuel
tank's vent should be routed so
as
to
prevent water entry as well.
Be
sure there
is
a fire extinguisher installed near the unit and that it
is
properly maintained. Be familiar with
its use.
An
extinguisher with the NFPA rating of ABC
is
appropriate for all applications in this environment.
Electrical
System
The electrical system should be checked
to
make sure all wiring harnesses are tied down properly with
clamps or plastic ties, spaced at intervals close enough
to
prevent chafing from vibration. Check
to
make
sure
all the engine's harness connections are tight and that they are made to the appropriate terminals.
IWARNINGI
Do not smoke
or
allow an open flame near batteries. Lead acid batteries emit hydrogen, a
highly-explosive gas. Turn off the emergency switch
in
the positive line
of
battery.
Make sure the positive (
+ ) battery connection
is
connected to the battery connection
of
the starting solenoid.
The negative
(-)
battery connection should be connected
to
the system ground (the engine block).
When servicing the battery
or
checking the electrolyte level, wear rubber gloves, a rubber
apron, and eye protection. Battery acid may inadvertently splash on skin
or
into eyes when
removing electrolyte caps.
Check
level and specHic gravity
of
battery electrolyte
to
ensure maximum engine starting efficiency. Make
sure terminals are clean and tight.
Ventilation
The ventilation requirements
of
the engine include the following: combustion air
is
required for the engine's
cylinders and ventilating air
is
required to clear the bilges below the engine, as well as the compartment in
which the engine
is
located, of heated air produced during engine operation and
of
potentially toxic and
flammable diesel fumes. Refer
to
the "SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual for engine airflow
requirements, page
13
for the W 35B, page
16
for the W 38B, and page 19 for the W 42B.
