Expansion tank
• Fit the expansion tank (7) at an easily accessible place above the
highest level of the electric motor.
• Always use a flexible hose with internal diameter 12 mm (1/2")
for the connections between the keel cooler, expansion tank and
motor.
• Keep the hoses as short and with as few bends as possible.
• Only use water and/or soap, thus no fatty or oily products, to help
make fitting the hoses to the hose connection points easier.
• Tighten each hose connection using rust-proof steel hose clamps.
