Installation Instructions
5.4.7 Generator installation below waterline
If the generator cannot be attached at least 600 mm above the
waterline, a vent valve must be installed at the raw water line.
Possible heeling must be taken into consideration if installed at the "mid-ship
line"! The water hose for the external vent valve is located at the back of the
sound insulated capsule. This hose is split in the middle and extended
respectively at each end by an additional hose and a connecting nipple. Both
hose ends must be led outside of the sound cover, if possible 600 mm over
the waterline in the mid-ship line. The valve is connected at the highest place
to the two hose ends. If the valve jams the cool water line cannot be de-aerated
after stopping the generator, the water column is not discontinued and
water can penetrate into the combustion chamber of the engine. This will
lead to damage the engine in a short term!

The rubber hose for the external vent valve will be cut...
...and bend upwards.
Both hose ends will be extended respectively with a hose and
connected with a vent valve 600 mm over the waterline.
