EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Check
at
recovery tank •. if empty, check at manifold. Add coolant if needed.
Oil level should indicate between MAX and LOW on dlpstick. Do not overfill!
Check for water ar~d dirt in fuel. Drain filter if necessary. Replace filter every 250 operating
hours or once a year.
· Use properly filtered 112 diesel with a Cetane rating of #45 or higher. Check that
there is adequate fuel for the vessel's needs.
Check for fuel, oil and water and exhaust leaks. Check that the water injected exhaust elbow
securing v-clamp is tight No exhaust leaks around the elbow. Inspect wiring and electrical
connections. Look for loose bolts/hardware and correct as neede~.

Inspect for frayed edges. Belts must be properly tensioned
Initial engine oil and filter change at 50 hours then change both every 250 hours.
Initial check at 50 hours, then every 250 hours or once a year. Garetully inspect for leaks.
Check that the exhaust hoses are properly attached and that the securing clamps are tight.
Check the integrity/mounting security of the water injected exhaust elbow.
Check Check all connections are secure, proper travel and lubricate with WD-40.
Torque Bolts and Adjust Valves (cold)
Initial change, thefT every 250 hours or once a year.
Refer to Specifications.
Initial change, then at 300 hours or once a season.
Open end caps and clean out debris. Change zinc anode if necessary. Determine zinc service
interval for your area.
Inspect for proper tension (3/8' to 112" deflection) and adjust if needed. Check belt
for slipping, cracking and wear. Adjust tension or replace as needed. Replace cover.
Check electrolyte levels Make sure cables and connections are in good order. Clean
off corrosion if needed. Apply petroleum jelly to terminals for corrosion protection.
Inspect, no leaks. Connections are clean and tight Glean/replace filter element if applicable.
Inspect and clean zinc anode. Replace if necessary. Note the condition, then determine
your own inspection schedule.
Inspect, Clean and replace as needed.
Inspect and clean zinc anode. Note the condition, then determine your own schedule. If zinc
anode needs replacing, you should remove the end cap and clean out the debris.
Replace zinc if necessary.
Lubricate with "lockeze".
Inspect for proper tension (3/8" to 112' deflection) and adjust if needed. Check belt
for slipping, cracking and wear. Adjust tension or replace as needed. Replace cover.
Check electrolyte levels Make sure cables and connections are in good order. Clean
off corrosion if needed. Apply petroleum jelly to terminals for corrosion protection.
Inspect, no leaks. Connections are clean and tight. Clean/replace filter element if applicable.
Inspect impeller, check drive shaft security. Inspect there is no shaft water or oil
sealle~ks.
Change the engine oil and oil filter (always together)
