  1. The Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 3 cooling system is filled to proper level when shipped. If level has dropped, check for evidence of leaks at all connections before adding fluid as described below. If coolant is at the correct level, skip to Step 5.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The minimum and maximum glycol levels are shown in Figure 25.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    1. Mix 50% ethylene glycol with 50% distilled water in a clean container. Refer to Table 1or glycol manufacturer\u2019s literature for freezing points.

      1. It is required that ethylene glycol with corrosion inhibitors be used. Most commercially available glycol has these additives standard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

        1. Remove reservoir cap and pour mixture in until level reaches top face of the reservoir enclosure, as shown in Figure 25.
          \n
            \n
          1. Filling reservoir above this level will not cause any damage but coolant may be expelled from pressure relief port in cap due to normal thermal expansion of coolant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Once the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 3 and DC seawater pump are connected to 12 VDC power:

              \n
            1. At the MFD or Display check for any ALARMS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Cycle the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> 3 power, and Press the POWER ON button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. The flywheel will start to spin and the glycol pump will start on demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Recheck glycol level with fluid circulating in coolant circuit. Inspect reservoir to check coolant level is above minimum level of Figure 25. Replace cap if removed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            5. After several minutes of running, press POWER OFF button to turn power off to the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            6. The cooling system is self-purging. If small amounts of air are in the system, they will most likely be dislodged during the first sea trial. Recheck level after sea trial and add fluid if required.

              NOTE<\/strong>: It is not uncommon to see some air in the coolant system. It is normal and will not affect operation.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":14199,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"manual":[293],"model":[],"document_type":[],"hidden":[],"class_list":["post-14246","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","manual-seakeeper-3-installation-manual-90378-7"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14246"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14246\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15286,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14246\/revisions\/15286"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manual","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual?post=14246"},{"taxonomy":"model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/model?post=14246"},{"taxonomy":"document_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document_type?post=14246"},{"taxonomy":"hidden","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/seakeeper\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hidden?post=14246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
