Before you start

  • When closing the cover of the raw water strainer, make sure that it tightens well.
  • Anti-freeze liquid is very poisonous! Make sure anti-freeze is not getting mixed up with raw water.
  • If false air is coming into the system through a cover that is not closed tightly, there is a severe risk of overheating of the engine.

Procedure

  1. Close the raw water seacock and clean the raw water strainer.
  2. Drain so much cooling liquid from the inner cooling circuit, so as to enable you to add 1 liter of (extra) anti-freeze into the cooling circuit.
  3. Have the motor idling for a few seconds, so that the additional anti-freeze can be spread throughout the system.
  4. Make sure that the inner cooling system contains sufficient anti-freeze, in order to avoid corrosion. Check with the aid of a volume gauge.
