6. Pressurised Water Header Tank
WARNING:
SCALD HAZARD!
NEVER REMOVE THE HEADER TANK CAP IF THE ENGINE IS
HOT. STEAM AND HOT COOLANT MAY SPURT OUT AND CAUSE INJURY. TIGHTEN
THE HEADER TANK CAP SECURELY AFTER BEING REMOVED. STEAM CAN
SPURT OUT DURING ENGINE OPERATION IF THE CAP IS LOOSE.
•
The pressurised header tank should be mounted higher than the level of the engine,
no less than 300mm, and no more than 1m from the engine, to prevent cooling system
air locks.
•
The header tank has two hose connections of different internal diameters.
The smaller
internal diameter hosetail (left side of tank) should be connected to the top of the
thermostat housing on the engine. This is the air-bleed. The larger internal diameter
hosetail (right side of tank should be connected to the lower pipe on the engine. This
is the water-fill. The hoses
MUST
be connected correctly.
