Water pump rotor replacement
- Close the sea water inlet valve
- Remove the water pump cover
- Remove the worn rotor using adjustable pliers
- Clean remaining components.
- Install a new rotor
- Replace the water pump cover using a new seal.
- Open the sea water inlet valve
- Start the engine and check the system for leaks
Electrical equipment
Regularly check alternator belt tension. Tighten the
belt between the pulleys (190 Nm using the DENSO
checking instrument).
I DANGER : Stop the engine and turn of the battery
isolation switch before doing any work on the electrical system.
Battery
Battery components should be checked once per
season.
Electrolyte density should be between 1,270 and
1,285.
The electrolyte level should be regularly checked.
The level should be kept at 1cm above the plates.
Add distilled water only, if required.
I DANGER : Never approach with a naked flame, or
check the battery by creating a "spark across the terminals" because it gives off inflammable and explosive gases - battery electrolyte is also highly corrosive.
If this acid come into contact with the skin, wash immediately in soapy water. In the event that it
splashes into the eyes, rinse abundantly with water
and contact a doctor immediately. Do not create a
short circuit.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to ensure that the alternator an its incorporated regulator work perfectly, Never:
- Switch off the battery cut-out when the engine is
running (risk of damaging the regulator irrevocably).
- Reverse the battery terminals. The terminals are
marked + (positive) and – (negative) respectively;
the negative is the earth; the cable connectors and
the cables themselves should be attached correctly.
- Change the load on the circuit whilst the engine is
running.
To use several batteries, install a load proportioner.
(Ask a NANNIDIESEL representative).
In the event of starting using a back-up battery and
jump leads, carry out the following procedure:
Ignore the main battery circuit, link the backup battery
by connecting to + and - to -.
Once the engine is running, disconnect the jump
leads and do not switch off the main battery circuit.
You should disconnect the 2 battery cables when:
- you are using a battery charger
- before working on any electrical components
- before carrying out any welding on a steel hull
Flushing the cooling system
Clear water system
- Open the filler cap located on the exchanger
- Open the drain plug under the turbo liner
- Unscrew the cross headed screw connector located
on the exhaust manifold
- Remove the engine block drain plug located on the
thermostat mounting
- Drain the used liquid from the heat exchanger and
the engine block
- Fill the clear water system and run the engine for
several minutes
- Use the topping up/priming procedure described in
the Paragraph on: Sealed cooling system
- Drain the water and re-fill with an antifreeze/clear
water mixture
- Fill the cooling system in accordance with the
specifications
NOTE : In the event that the hot water system is connected to the engine, drain this completely also and,
when refilling take the amount of added mixture into
account. Make sure that all air in the system is com-
pletely removed when filling
.
I WARNING: The liquid is under pressure. Do not
open the cap when the engine is hot. Allow the engine to cool and open the cap carefully.
Sea water system
- Close the sea water inlet valve
- Drain all the sea water inlet piping, the filter, sea
water pump, piping, heat exchanger, by undoing their
jubilee clips
- Drain the exhaust system as a certain amount of
water will remain in the silencer "waterlock".
Cleaning the heat and air temperature
exchangers
- Check the exchanger wiring cores.
- Remove the covers.
- Remove the cores and clean them using water and
an commercially available none corrosive product.
Rinse well.
- Replace the O-rings and reinstall the sub assemblies.
I WARNING: Corrosive products are hazardous to
health. Read all instructions on the packaging carefully.
