START-UP
PRESTART
Before starting your generator for the first time or after a prolonged layoff, check the following items:
• Check the engine oil level: add oil to maintain the level at
the full mark on the dipstick.
• Check the fuel supply and examine the fuel filter/separator
bowls for contaminants.
• Check the DC electrical system. Inspect wire connections
and battery cable connections.
• Check the coolant level in both the plastic recovery tank
and at the manifold.
NOTE:
the engine s cooling system will be purged to the coolant
recovery tank. Open the air bleed petcock to ensure that
the cooling system is purged
after the engine has cooled, the coolant from the recovery
tank will be drawn into the engine

• Examine the air inlet and outlet for air flow obstructions.
• Be sure no other generator or utility power is connected to
the load lines.
• Be sure that in power systems with a neutral line that the
neutral is properly grounded (or ungrounded)
requires, and that generator neutral is properly connected
to the load neutral. In single phase systems an incomplete

COOLING
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Westerbeke marine diesel engines are designed and equipped
for fresh water cooling. Heat produced in the engine by
combustion and friction is transferred to fresh water coolant
which circulates throughout the engine. This circulating
fresh water coolant cools the engine block, its internal
is
moving parts, and the engine oil. The heat

means of a heat exchanger, similar in function to
automotive radiator. Raw water flows through the tubes
the heat exchanger while fresh water coolant flows around _
the tubes; engine heat transfern;Ci
is
conducted through the tubewail;,-t:o the raw water which
then pumped into the exhaust system where finally it
discharged overboard. In other words, the engine

the raw water carries the transferred heat overboard through
the exhaust system. The fresh water coolant and raw water
circuits are independent
coolant within the engine allows the cooling water passages
to stay clean and free from harmful deposits.

fresh water coolant.
Fresh water coolant is pumped through the engine by a
circulating pump, absorbing heat from the engine. The
coolant then passes through the thermostat into the manifold,
to the heat exchanger where it is cooled, and returned to the
engine block via the suction side
When the engine is started cold, external coolant flow
prevented by the closed thermostat (although some coolant
flow is bypassed around the thermostat to prevent the exhaust
manifold from overheating). As the engine warms up, the
thermostat gradually opens, allowing full flow
coolant to flow unrestricted to the external portion of the
cooling system.

and contraction during engine operation, without any
significant loss

To inspect the plug, remove the electrical terminal connec-
