2. Open the ventilating screw on the ther-
mostat casing.

3. Now the cooling water is only filled over the external expansion tank. This is connected by 2
hoses with the genset.
The external expansion tank should be filled in the cold condition only up to maximally
20%. It is very important that a large extension space over the cooling water level remains.
Repeat this procedure several times.
If no change of the cooling water level can be determined, the generator is started for 5 minutes.
Afterwards repeat the ventilation two - three times.
It is meaningful to repeat the ventilation procedure also after some days again to guarantee that
in the system remained bubbles are removed.
The ventilation screw
above the cooling water
pump casing may not
be opened under any
circumstances,
whilst
the generator is run-
ning. Air will be sucked
through the opening, if this should happen
by mistake. Venting the whole system
afterwards is necessary and very difficult.
