INSTALLATIONS
These engines are equipped with connections for the
plnrnbing
of
engine coolant to transfer heat
to
an on-board water
heater.
The water heater should be mounted in a convenient location
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.
Hoses
SllOUld
rise continuously from their low point
at
the
heater io the engine
so
that air will rise naturally from
the
heater to the engine.
If
trapped air
is
able
to
rise to the
heater,
then
an
air bleed petcock must lie installed at the higher
fitting
on
the
heater for bleeding air while
filling
the system.

NOTE:
If
any
portion
of
the
heating
circuit
rises
abov~
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
of
the
two
connections
for
the
return.
Tee
at
the
heater,
and plumb a
single
line
up
to
the
tanks
location
and
the
other back
to
the
engine
~
retz{m.
Install
the
remote
expansion tank
in
a
convenient
location
so
the
coolant
level
can
easily be
checked.
The
remote
expansion
tank
will
now
serve
as
a check and
system
fill
point.
The
plastic
coownt recovery tank is not used
when
the
remote expansion tank kit
is
installed, since this
tank
serves
the
same
function.
Remove
and
store
the plastic
recovery
tank if it
has
been
already
installed.
The pressure cap
on
the
engine's manifold should be
installed 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 of air and exhibits
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 continuously from the
heai:er
to the tank,
enabling any
.air
in the system
to
rise up to the tank and out
of
the
system.
NOTE:
An air bleed
petc~ck
is
located
on
the
·engine
's
heat
exchanger.
Open
this
petcock
when
filling
the
engine's
coolant
system
to
allow
air
in
the
exchanger
to
escape.
Close
tightly after
all
the
air
is
removed.
