INSTALLATION CHECKS
General
Since the crafts in which Westsrbeks generators are installed vary in design, installation procedures will vary
according
to
your
craft's specific design. The intent of this seclion is not
to
advise boatyards
or
installers on
procedures already well-developed and well-understood. However,
it
is
important that the owner/operator
realize there are details
of
the installation which require periodic checks
10
ensure Ihe best operating condi-
tions
for
the equipment and safe operating conditions
lor
the personnel on board. Proper location and in-
stallation of the gasoline generator in the vessel are
01
prime importance.
Factors in the installation that must be considered are ventilation,
to
aid in cooling the generator end;
to
provide air
for
engine combustion and
to
remove heat produced
by
the engine while operating; the exhaust
system,
to
properly discharge raw cooling water (sea water),
to
quiet the exhaust, and
to
expel exhaust gas;
the cooling water supply; and the electrical connections.
CAUTION
For safety reasons, the generator's engine
is
NOTfilied with lubricating oil for shipment. Before
leaving the factory, however, each generator set
is
thoroughly tested with oil in
ITS
engine.
This testing, among other things, provides
all
internal parts with a coating
01
oil. This oil acts
as a preservative, providing
reliable protection against corrosion for at least one year if the
generator
is
properly stored.
Inspection
01
Equipment
The generator
is
shipped from the factory securely mounted and properly crated. Accessory eqUipment
is
shipped in a separate small box, usually packed within the generator's crate.
Before accepting shipment of the generator set from the transportation company, the crate should be opened
and the contents inspected for concealed damage. If either visible or concealed damage is noted, you should
require the
delivery agent sign "Received
In
damaged condition" on the proper delivery receipt. Also check
the contents
01
the shipment against the packing list and make sure that the proper notation
is
made
if
any
discrepancies exist. These noted discrepancies are your protection agalns! loss or damage. Claims con-
cerning loss
or
damage must be made to the carrier, not to the Westerbeke Corporation.
