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.

C.4.5 Exchange of the V-Belt for the Internal Cooling Water Pump
The relative high ambient temperature in the closed sound insulated capsule (about 85°C) can be
a reason for a reduced lifespan of the v-belts. It is possible that the "softener" in the rubber com-
pound lose their effect after a short operating time because the air in the sound insulated capsule
can be relative warm and dry. The v-belt must be controlled at very short time intervals. It may be
required to change the v-belt after several weeks because of unfavourable conditions. Therefore,
control should be carried out after an interval of 100 operating hours. The v-belt is a wearing part.
There should be enough spare v-belts on board. We recommend that you have the respective
manual within reach.
