WATER

HEATER

INSTALLATIONS

This engine is equipped with connections for the plumb-

ing

engine coolant to heat an on-board water heater.

The water heater should be mounted in a convenient lo-

cation either in a high or low position in relation to the

engine, so that the connecting hoses from the heater to

the engine can run in a reasonably direct line without any

loops which might trap air.

HEATER

BELOW

THE

ENGINE

Hoses should rise continuously from their low point at

the heater to the engine so that air will rise naturally

from the heater to the engine.

trapped air is able to rise

to the heater, then an air bleed petcock must be installed

at the higher fitting on the heater for bleeding air while

filling the system.

NOTE:

any portion

the heating circuit rises above

the engine's own pressure cap, then a pressurized

(aluminum) remote expansion tank (Kit #024177)

must

be installed in the circuit to become the highest point.

Tee the remote expansion tank into the heater circuit,

choosing the higher

the two connections

for

the return.

Tee

the heater,

and

plumb a single line up to the tank's

location and the other back to the engine's return. Install

the remote expansion tank

a convenient location

so the fresh water coolant level can easily be checked. The

remote expansion tank will now serve as a check and

system fill point.

The

plastic coolant recovery

tank

not

used

when

the

remote expansion

tank

kit

is installed,

since this

tank

serves

the

same

function.

The pressure cap on the engine's manifold should be in-

stalled after the engine's cooling system is filled with

coolant. Finish filling the cooling system from the remote

tank after the system is filled and is free

air and exhib-

its good coolant circulation. During engine operation,

checking

the engine's coolant should be done at

the remote tank and not at the engine manifold cap. The

hose connection from the heater to the remote expansion

tank should be routed and supported so it rises continu-

ously from the heater to the tank, enabling any air in the

system to rise up to the tank and out

the system.

NOTE:

air bleed petcock is located on the engine's

heat exchanger. Open this petcock when filling the en-

gine's fresh water system to allow air

the exchanger to

escape. Close tightly after all the air is removed.
