APPLICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect the strainer element regularly for contaminants. N.B. The lid doesn’t need to be removed for inspection. Clean the strainer element if dirt has accumulated. Close the seacock before unscrewing the lid of the water strainer, (see drwg 2) Remove the strainer element out of the housing and flush the strainer with clean water. Re-install the strainer element. grease the Seal ring and the thread with e.g. silicone oil or teflon based spray, (see drwg 4) and reinstall the lid.N.B. Secure or loosen the lid always manually. Never use tools for this purpose, (see drwg 2 and 3) Check the seal between lid and housing after cleaning and reassembling the strainer. An improperly sealed lid will result in air sucked in by the sea water pump of the engine which again will result in overheating of the engine. To prevent damage of the water strainer, during frost in the winter time, either the water must be drained or the installation must be filled with anti-freeze. Remove the hoses to drain the strainer; the housing is not equipped with a drain plug. Take care that during filling with anti-freeze no anti-freeze is spilled into the waterway. Anti- freeze is poisonous.
