Use And Maintenance - Vetus 1320 Instructions D'installation

Use and maintenance

• Inspect the strainer element regularly for
contaminents.
N.B. The lid doesn't need to be removed for
inspection.
• Clean the strainer element if dirt has accu-
mulated.
Cleaning model 1320
• Close the seacock before unscrewing the lid
of the water strainer, see drawing 7.
• Remove the strainer element out of the
housing. The strainer element consists of
two detachable parts so as to ensure proper
cleaning.
• Flush both parts of the strainer with clean
water. Connect the parts before the strainer
element is re-installed.
• Re-install the strainer element, grease the
O-ring and the thread with e.g. silicone oil
or teflon based spray, see drawing 11, and
re-install the lid.
Secure or loosen the lid always manu-
ally. Never use tools for this purpose, see
drawing 7 and 8.
Cleaning model 1900
• Close the seacock. Unscrew the knurled
Cooling water strainer model 1320, 1900
knobs and remove the lid of the water
strainer, see drawing 9.
• Remove the strainer element out of the
housing and flush the strainer with clean
water.
• Re-install the strainer element, grease the
sealing ring with e.g. silicone oil or teflon
based spray, see drawing 12, and reinstall
the lid.
Secure or loosen the knurled knobs al-
ways manually. Never use tools for this
purpose, see drawing 9 and 10.
Check the seal between lid and housing after
cleaning and re-assembling 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, dur-
ing frost in the winter time, either the water
must be drained or the instaliation 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!
