Exhaust Elbow Installation
The Westerbeke Corporation offers a 45°and 90
0
exhaust
elbow as well as an exhaust riser you can install on your
generator. Refer to the instructions below when installing
the exhaust elbow purchased for your generator.
NOTE:
Fabricated exhaust elbows or risers at-
tached to the exhaust manifold shall not exceed 8
Ibs when unsupported.
1.
Coat
only one side of the exhaust gasket with *"High
Tack" adhesive sealant.
Place this coated surface
against the exhaust manifold's exhaust port flange (the
gasket should stick to the flange without falling off).
2. Place the clamp over the elbow's flange. Place your
exhaust elbow against the exhaust manifold's flange so
the exhaust manifold's flange rests snug against the
exhaust elbow's flange with the gasket centered
be-
tween the two. Now slip the exhaust clamp over both
flanges.
3.
A.
Tighten the clamp just enough so the exhaust elbow
can remain attached to the manifold and still be
rotated.
B.
The exhaust elbow discharge
lIlLI.St. be
directed
downward so the mixture of raw water and exhaust
gases will flow/fall downward into the exhaust muffler
which
~
be
positioned below the exhaust elbow.
There should
be
no loops or rises in the exhaust hose
connected between the exhaust elbow and the muf-
fler, as these would trap water and possibly allow
water to flow back into the engine during starting or
at shut down.
4.
Adjust the elbow by rotating it until the desired align-
ment
with
the exhaust piping is acquired.
5.
Carefully tighten the clamp between
2
to
3
Ib-ft, or
24
to
35
Ib-in, or
0.27
to
0.41
kg-m.
CAUTION
Approach the 3 Ib-ft torque limit with caution. The
clamp's threads will break if more than 3 Ib-ft is
applied to the clamp.
If a leak exists, correct it immediately.
