Mode of Operation of the <strong>Generator</strong><br />
A.7 Operation of the generator with installation over the waterline<br />
<strong>Generator</strong> over the waterline:<br />
If the generator is installed over the waterline, a stronger impeller wear is possible, the pump can<br />
run after the start some seconds dry.<br />
It is very important that the impeller is exchanged every few months. When starting the generator<br />
attention should be always paid and heard to it, when raw water withdraws from the exhaust<br />
neck. If this takes longer than 5 seconds the impeller must exchanged, he sucks in air before raw<br />
water reaches the impeller (see picture below) and the impeller then wears strongly. In this case<br />
the impeller loses his effect and raw water can penetrate into the engine as well as substantially<br />
destroy it. If the impeller is not exchanged early enough, the entire pump must be replaced.<br />
Otherwise the impeller wings breaks in pieces and it stresses some time to remove these again.<br />
Replacement impeller should always be on board.<br />
With the installation of the generator it must be paid attention that the impeller pump is well<br />
accessible, since the impeller is a wearing part. If this place at the location can be reached not<br />
well, an external pump with electric drive can be used instead of the pump built firmly in the sound<br />
cover, which should be installed in a well accessible place.<br />

2. Water cock<br />
3. Hull inlet<br />
Make certain that the raw water<br />
filter lies above the water level,<br />
otherwise with cleaning water<br />
can penetrate by the hull inlet.<br />
An external pre-pump can<br />
relieve the impeller.<br />
