BG 2000 MAINTENANCE
Like your engine, your SEA FROST needs periodic checking.
ROUTINELY CHECK:
1.The refrigerant charge. See: "Checking The Charge" text. NEVER OPERATE SYSTEM WITHOUT PROPER CHARGE.
2.All components, all tubing, fittings, and hose clamps for corrosion and wear. BE SURE TO LOCATE AND INSPECT ALL FITTINGS AND COMPONENTS IN THE SYSTEM. KNOW THE LOCATION OF ALL CONNECTION POINTS. Spray with a rust inhibitor REGULARLY. Corrosion unchecked in the marine environment will severely reduce the life of your system.
CLEANING
The holdover plate surface protects itself with a layer of oxidation. You might find that after a long period of storage the plate will look chalky. This will not effect operation and is easily cleaned up with a pot scrubber and soap.
WATER STRAINER
The water pump must be protected from damage and blockage by a seawater strainer. This strainer must be inspected and cleaned routinely.
ROUTINE SERVICE AND INSPECTION
We recommend sea strainer inspection before leaving the boat unattended dockside with the unit on. A visual inspection may be adequate depending on the type of strainer. To clean most types of strainers, close the seacock, open the strainer, remove the screen or basket, clean, reassemble and open the seacock. Operate the system and check for water flow and leaks around the strainer opening.
