MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE WARNING: Never attempt to perform any service while the engine is running. Wear the proper safety equipment such as goggles and gloves, and use the correct tools for each job. Disconnect the battery terminals when servicing any of the engine's DC electrical equipment. NOTE: Many of the following maintenance jobs are simple but others are more difficult and may require the expert knowledge of a service mechanic.

This process is accomplished by instaIling and maintaining a proper fuel filter/water separator between the fuel tank and the generator/engine. Westerbeke recommends a 10 micron filter be used. FUEL INJECTION PUMP The fuel injection pump is the most impOitant component of the diesel engine, requiring the utmost caution in handling.
COOLING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Wcstcrbeke marine diesel engines are designed and equipped fresh water coolant flows around the tubes; engine heat trans- for frcsh water cooling. Heat produced in the engine by com- fen"ed to the fresh water coolant is conducted through the tube walls to the raw watcr which is then pumped into the bustion and friction is transferred to fresh water coolant which circulates throughout the engine.

COOLING SYSTEM RAW WATER COOLING CIRCUIT RAW WATER PUMP The raw water flow is created by a positive displacement The raw water pump is a self-priming, rotary pump with a impeller pUl1lp. This pump draws water directly from the non-ferrous housing and a Neoprene impeller. The impeller ocean, lake, or river from a thru-hull opening through a hose has flexible blades which wipe against a curved cam plate to the water strainer.
