7. Clean the threaded hole of the heat exchanger and coat the threads of the anticorrosion zinc anode (plug) with pipe
sealant suitable for marine applications. Cut the anticorrosion zinc to the correct length. Install the anticorrosion zinc
anode into the heat exchanger.
8. Close the petcock on the engine and open the seacock. Refill the cooling system.
9. Check that the generator set is OFF.
10. Reconnect the generator set engine starting battery, negative (-) lead last.
11. Reconnect the power to the battery charger, if equipped.
12. Start the generator set and check for leaks at the anticorrosion zinc anode location. The pump is operating if the cooling
water flows from the exhaust outlet. If water is not discharging at the exhaust outlet, see the Prestart Checklist section
