DIESEL

FUEL

Use a

diesel

fuel

that

meets

the

requirements

of

No.

2-D

SAE J

313

and

has

a

Cetane

rating

of

#45

or

higher

grade

of

diesel

fuel

according

to

ASTM

D975

Care

Of

The

Fuel

Supply

Use

only

clean

diesel

fuel!

The

clearance

of

the

components

in

your

engines

fuel

injection

pump

is

very

critical;

invisible

dirt

particles

which

might

pass

through

the

primary

and

sec-

ondary

filters

can

damage

these

finely

machined

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

ensure

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.

The

use

of additives

to

combat

BACTERIAL

growth

in

the

fuel

tank

is

recommended

such

as

Bio-

Bar

and

an

additive

such

as

Diesel

Kleen

+

Centane

Boost

to

help

restore

lubricity

back

into

the

diesel

fuel

when

an

Ultra

Low

Sulfur diesel

is

being

used.

Install

and

regularly

service

a

good,

visual-type

fuel

filter/water separator

between

the

fuel

tank

and

the

engine.

The

Raycor

500

MA

or

230

RMAM

are

good examples

of

such

filters.

A

10

micron

filter

element

is

recommended.

ENGINE

OIL

Use

a

heavy

duty

diesel

oil

with

an

API

classification of

CF,

CG-4,

CH-4

or

CIA.

Change

the

engine

oil

and

filter after

an

initial

50

hours

of

break-in

operation.Then

follow

the

oil

and

filter

change

intervals

as

specified

in

the

MAINTENANCE

SCHEDULE

in

this

manual.

Westerbeke

Corporation

does

not

approve

or

disapprove

the

use of

synthetic

oils. If

synthetic

oils

are

used,

engine break-in

must

be

performed

using

conventional

oil.

Oil

change

intervals

must

be

as

listed

in

the

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

section

of

this

manual

and

not

be

extended

if synthetic

oils

are

used.

NOTE:

The

information

above

supersedes all previous

statements

regarding

synthetic

oil.

SAE

OIL

VISCOSITY

GRADE

For

all

temperature

ranges:

SAE

or

SAE

IOW-40.

RECOMMENDED RPM RANGES

[die:

750

- 1000

rpm

Cruise: 2000 • 2400

rpm

Max:

2550 • 2600

rpm

The

propeller used must allow the engine to reach

its

rated

rpm

at

full open throttle underway

in

forward gear and hold

the rpm there. This will ensure that

the

propeller used

is

properly loading the engine.

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,

and

lubricates

and

protects

the

cooling circuit

from

rust

and

corrosion.

Look

for

a

good

quality

antifreeze

that

contains

Supplemental Cooling

Additives

(SCAs)

that

keep

the

antifreeze

chemically

balanced,

crucial

to

long

term

protection.

The distilled

water

and

antifreeze

should

be

premixed before

being poured

into

the

cooling

circuit.

NOTE:

Look for

the

new

environmentallyjriendly long lasting

antifreeze that

is

now

available.

PURCHASING

ANTIFREEZE

Rather

than

preparing

the

mixture,

WESTERBEKE

recommends

buying

the

premixed

antifreeze

so

that

so

that

when

adding

coolant

the

mixture

will

always

be

correct.

There

are

two

common

types

of antifreeze, Ethylene Glycol

(green)

and

Propylene

Glycol

(red/pnrple), either can be used

but

do

not

mix

the

two

and

if changing

from

one

to

another,

flush

the

engine

thoroughly.

Premixed antifreeze for DIESEL Engines:

Specification #ASTM

D53456.

MAINTENANCE

Change

the

engine coolant

every

five

years

regardless

of the

number·of

operating

hours

as

the

chemical

additives

that

protect

and

lubricate

the

engine

have

a limited

life.

COOLANT

RECOVERY

TANK

The coolant

recovery

tank

allows

for the

expansion

and

contraction of

the

engines

coolant during

engine

operation

without

introducing

air

into

the

system.

This

recovery

tank

is

provided

with

fresh

water cooled models

and

with

the

fresh

water coolant conversion kit and must

be

installed

before

operating

the

engine.
