UNDERSTANDING
THE
DIESEL
ENGINE
The diesel engine closely resembles the gasoline engine,
since the mechanism
is
essentially the same. The cylinders
are arranged above a closed crankcase. The crankshaft
is
the
same general type as a gasoline engine, and the diesel engine
has the same types
of
valves, camshaft, pistons, connecting
rods and lubricating system.
Therefore, to a great extent, a diesel engine requires the
same preventive maintenance as a gasoline engine. The
most important factors are proper ventilation and proper
maintenance
of
the fuel, lubricating and cooling systems.
Fuel and lubricating filter elements must be replaced at the
time periods specified, and frequent checking for
contamination (water, sediment, etc.) in the fuel
system
is
also essential. Another important factor
is
the
consistent use
of
the same brand
of
high detergent diesel
lubrication oil designed specifically for diesel engines.
The diesel engine does differ from the gasoline engine,
however, in its method
of
handling and firing offuel. The
carburetor and ignition systems are replaced by a single
component-
the fuel injection
pump-
which performs the
function
of
both.

INSTALLATION
MANUAL
Publication #43400 provides detailed information for
installing engines.
PROTECTING
YOUR
INVESTMENT
Care at the factory dming assembly and thorough testing
have resulted in a
WESTERBEKE engine capable
of
many
thousands
of
hours
of
dependable service. However the
manufacturer cannot 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 long engine life:
• Proper engine installation
and
alignment.
•
An
efficient well-designed exhaust system that includes
an
anti-siphon break to prevent water from entering the
engine.
• Changing the engine oil
and
oil filters every 100
operating hours.
• Proper maintenance
of
all engine
and
generator
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.
