GASOLINE
A
CAUTION:
Only
use
unleaded
fuel
with
an
octane
rating
of
89
or
higher.
Leaded
fuel
will
cause
serious
harm
to
your
engine
and
violate
your
warranty.
Care
Of
The
Fuel
Supply
Use
only clean
fuel!
The clearance of
the
components
in
your
fuel
injection pump
is
very
critical; invisible dirt
particles
which
might pass through
the
filter
can
damage
these
finely
finished
parts.
It
is
important
to
buy clean
fuel,
and
keep
it
clean.
The best
fuel
can
be
rendered
unsatisfactory
by
careless handling or improper storage
facilities.
To
assure
that
the
fuel
going into
the
tank for
your
engine's
daily
use
is
clean
and
pure,
the following practice
is
advisable:
Purchase a well-known brand of
fuel.
Install
and
regularly service a good, Coast Guard approved
metal
bowl type filterlwater separator between
the
fuel
tank
and
the
engine.
ENGINE
OIL
Use
a
heavy
duty
engine oil with
an
API
classification of
SJ.
Change
the
engine
oil
and
filter
after
an
initial
50
hours
of
break-in operation, and every
100
hours of operation
thereafter.An
oil
viscosity of
SAE
15W-40
is
recommended
for
this
engine
in
all
conditions.
A
CAUTION:
00
not
allow
two
or
more
brands
of
engine
oil
to
mix.
Each
brand
contains
its
own
additives;
additives
of
different
brands
could
react
in
the
mixture
to
produce
properties
harmful
to
your
engine.
NOTE:
The
engine
compartment should have a gasoline fume
detector/alarm properly installed and
working.
ENGINE
COOLANT
WESTERBEKE
recommends a mixture of
50%
antifreeze
and
50%
distilled
water.
Distilled water
is
free
from
the
chemicals
that can corrode internal engine surfaces.
The antifreeze performs double
duty.
It allows
the
engine
to
run
at proper temperatures
by
transferring heat
away
from
the
engine
to
the
coolant. It
also
lubricates
and
protects
the
cooling circuit
from
rust and corrosion.
Use
a good quality
antifreeze that contains supplemental cooling additives
(SCAs)
that
keep
the
antifreeze chemically balanced, crucial
to
long
term
protection.
The water
and
antifreeze should be premixed before being
poured
into
the
cooling circuit.
NOTE:
Use
the
new environmentally-friendly,
long
lasting,
antifreeze that
is
now available.
A proper
50150
mixture
as
recommended
will
protect
the
engine coolant
to
temperatures of
-4O"F
COOLANT
RECOVERY
TANK
A coolant recovery tank kit
is
supplied
with
each
generator.
The purpose of
this
recovery tank
is
to
allow
for
engine
coolant expansion
and
contraction
during
engine operation,
without
the
loss of coolant and without introducing air
into
the
cooling
system.
