Before you start

  • If the cooling water strainer gets clogged up, the cooling liquid in the engine may overheat.
  • If and when air is sucked into the system, on account of a badly closing filter cover, there is a severe risk of overheating of the engine.

Procedure

  1. Each day, prior to starting the engine, make sure that the cooling water strainer is not clogged by dirt.
  2. Close the raw water seacock and remove the cover from the filter housing for proper inspection.
  3. Clean the filter element at least twice a year, or whenever necessary.
  4. When closing the strainer again, make sure that the cover is perfectly shutting the unit off.
  5. Make absolutely sure that the cover fits the strainer housing well and without any air leaks!
