While filling observe the open bleed petcock/plug at the back
of the cylinder head and when coolant begins to flow out of this
petcock/plug opening,
close the petcock/replace the plug.
Con-
tinue filling the system at the filler neck and the manifold until
the coolant level is approximately 1/2 inch from the filler neck
base.
Once the engine is started, this level should be monitored
and
antifreeze
solution
added
as
needed
as
the engine reaches
operating temperature
(170-190· F), and air is expelled from the
system.
TOp the system off with the antifreeze mixture and install the
filler
neck pressure cap.
Fill the coolant recovery tank to a
level between the ADD and MAX mark.
Observe that the level in the
recovery
tank
rises
as
the
engine
is run and lowers when the
engine is shut down and cools.
This will indicate the recovery
system is working.
Monitor engine coolant level via this recovery
tank and add antifreeze mixture as needed.
3.
Check AC electrical connections to the generator output leads for
120 or 240 volt output.
An AC wiring schematic is affixed to the
control panel cover for reference when making these connections.
Insure these connections are secure and properly insulated to pre-
vent shorts and that any leads routed through the control panel
metal box are routed through grommet ted holes to protect the AC
leads against chaffing.
4.
Connect DC starting battery leads securely to the tagged connec-
tion points on the engine.
Always connect
the ground lead last.
The starting battery
swi tch should be in the OFF position and the three fuses in the
control panel removed from their respective holders when making
these
connections.
Reinstall
the
fuses
in
their
respective
holders after the connections have been made.
5.
F ill the fuel tanks with a good grade of gasoline
(unleaded or
regular) •
The engine has mounted on it a 12 volt electric fuel pump.
This pump can be used to pr ime the eng ine' s fuel system.
I t
is
activated by depressing the ON switch in the control panel.
When
using the electr ic pump for this purpose unplug the
"+"
lead on
the carburetor electr ic choke to prevent activation of the choke
during system priming.
Reconnect after the system is primed.
NOTE:
The choke may have
to be readj usted
for
the climate
in
which the generator will be operating.
6.
Raw water supply should be connected to the engine sea water pump
using a good grade of wire reinforced hose.
Sea water pump suc-
tion can collapse hose having soft wall contruction.
7.
Connect the engine to the exhaust system.
Check all connections
that they are tight and there is no likelihood of an exhaust leak.
CARBON MONOXIDE EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY.
Check the exhaust system carefully once the engine is started for
leaks and correct them.
