Exhaust Elbow Installation
The Westerbeke Corporation offers a 45°and
90
0
exhaust
elbow as well as
an
exhaust riser you can install on your
generator. Refer
to
the instructions below when installing
the exhaust elbow purchased for your generator.
1.
Coat only one side of the exhaust gasket with ·"High
Tack"
adhesive sealant. Place this coated surface
against the exhaust manifold's exhaust port flange (the
gasket should stick
to
the flange without falling off).
2. Place the clamp over the elbow's flange. Place your ex-
haust elbow against the exhaust manifold's flange so
the exhaust manifold's flange rests snug against the
ex-
haust elbow's flange with the gasket centered between
the two. Now slip the exhaust clamp over both flanges.
3.
A.
Tighten the clamp just enough so the exhaust elbow
can remain attached
to
the manifold and still be
rotated.
B.
The exhaust elbow discharge must be directed
downward
so the miXiure of sea water and exhaust
gases will flow/fall downward into the exhaust
muf-
fler which must be positioned below the exhaust
elbow. There should be no loops or rises in the
ex-
haust hose connected between the exhaust elbow
and the muffler, as these would trap water and
pos-
sibly allow water to flow back into the engine during
starting
or
at shut down.
4.
Adjust the elbow
by
rotating it until the desired
aJign-
ment with the exhaust piping
is
acquired.
5. Carefully tighten the clamp between 2
to
3 Ib-ft,
or
24
to
35 Ib-in, or 0.27
to
0.41
kg-m.
CAUTION
Approach
the
:3
II>-It
torque
limit
with
caution.
The
clamp's
threads
will break
if
more
than 3
lI>-
ft
is applied
to
Ihe
clamp.
If
a leak exists, correct it immediately.
