INSTALLATIONS
These engines are equipped with connections for the plumbing
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 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.
If
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:
If
any portion
of
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
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's
return.
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 coolant 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 heater to the tank,
enabling any air
in
the system
to
rise up to the tank and out
of
the system.
NOTE:
An air bleed pet cock
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.
