Installation Instructions<br />
5.4.7 Generator installation below waterline<br />
If the generator cannot be attached at least 600 mm above the<br />
waterline, a vent valve must be installed at the raw water line.<br />
Possible heeling must be taken into consideration if installed at the "mid-ship<br />
line"! The water hose for the external vent valve is located at the back of the<br />
sound insulated capsule. This hose is split in the middle and extended<br />
respectively at each end by an additional hose and a connecting nipple. Both<br />
hose ends must be led outside of the sound cover, if possible 600 mm over<br />
the waterline in the mid-ship line. The valve is connected at the highest place<br />
to the two hose ends. If the valve jams the cool water line cannot be de-aerated<br />
after stopping the generator, the water column is not discontinued and<br />
water can penetrate into the combustion chamber of the engine. This will<br />
lead to damage the engine in a short term!<br />
Fig. 5.4.7-2: Rubber hose for vent valve - example<br />
The rubber hose for the external vent valve will be cut...<br />
...and bend upwards.<br />
Both hose ends will be extended respectively with a hose and<br />
connected with a vent valve 600 mm over the waterline.<br />
