PROTECTING

INVESTMENT
Care at the factory during assembly and thorough testing have
resulted in a WESTERBEKE engine capable
of
many thousands
of
hours
of
dependable service. However, the manufacturer can-
not control how
or
where the engine is installed in the vessel or
the manner in which the unit is operated and serviced in the field.
This is up to the buyer/owner-operator.
NOTE:
Six important steps to ensure a long engine/generator life.
• Proper engine installation.
• An efficient, well-designed exhaust system that includes
an
anti-syphon break to prevent water from entering the engine.
• Changing the engine oil every 250 operating hours.
• Proper maintenance
of
all engine components according to the
maintenance schedule in this manual.
• Use clean, filtered diesel fuel.
• Winterize your engine according to the
LAY-UP
AND
RECOMMISSIONING section in this manual.
