Exhaust Elbow Installation
The
Westerbeke
Corporation offers a
45°and

0
exhaust
elbow
as
well
as
an
exhaust riser you
can
install
on
your
propulsion
engine.
Refer
to
the instructions below
when
installing the exhaust elbow purchased for your generator.
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
ex-
haust
elbow against the exhaust manifold's flange
so
the exhaust manifold's flange
rests
snug
against the
ex-
haust
elbow's flange with the gasket
centered
between
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 must
be
directed
downward
so
the mixture of
sea
water
and
exhaust
gases
will flowlfall downward into the exhaust muf-
fler which
must
be
positioned below the exhaust
elbow.
There
should
be
no
loops or
rises
in
the
ex-
haust
hose
connected
between
the
exhaust
elbow
and
the
muffler,
as
these would trap water
and
pos-
sibly
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 3Ib-ft, or
24
to 35Ib-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
ap-
plied to the
clamp.
If a
leak
exists,
correct it immediately.
