2.0 PREPARATION FOR USE, INSTALLATION AND INITIAL
ADJUSTMENT

2.1 UNPACKING AND HANDLING

Remove unit from shipping crate and inspect for shipping damage.

CAUTION

Do not allow unit or any components to be exposed to freezing

temperatures. If it is anticipated that the unit may be exposed to freezing
temperature, please contact VMT in advance for technical assistance.

2.2 LOCATION

The RO unit should be installed in a dry, sheltered location protected from direct
weather. Some type of drainage should be provided beneath the RO unit to allow
standing water to drain when performing maintenance or repair (see system diagram in
Section 9.0 for skid size, interface locations and minimum maintenance envelope
requirements).

For units without a pressurized feed, it is recommended that the RO unit be mounted in
a location below the vessel's waterline. This will ensure a flooded suction to the unit at
all times.

It is important that the product water line is

connected to the top of the storage tank with an
air gap to prevent chlorinated water from

If it is not possible to mount the watermaker below the water line, the boost pump can
lift to a maximum height of 15 feet (5 feet for 50 Hz units) above the water line with the
boost pump removed from the frame and installed below the RO frame near the through
hull. A check valve might be required in the suction line to maintain adequate system
priming. Locating the system any more than 15 feet above the water line requires
installation of external pumps to maintain a pressurized feed.

Figure 2.1 - Proper Installation
(Above Water Line)

Since every installation is unique, the mounting instructions are provided for guidance
only. It is recommended that you use your own discretion as to the exact method of
mounting and placement of any mounting bolts.

1) Place the RO unit in an appropriate location and use existing holes or drill new
holes for a minimum of four point mounting by studs or bolts. Mount the RO unit
securely making sure that the base of the unit is continuously supported.

2) Make the following plumbing connections to the RO unit's piping interfaces (refer
to Section 9.0 for the exact piping interface locations):

a) Connect the raw water supply (1½" flange connection inlet) to a clean
seawater source.

CAUTION

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 6 Last Revised 01/12

 Inlet and discharge interconnecting lines should be constructed of a NON-
FERROUS material. Examples of some suitable materials are PVC,
copper-nickel, 316 stainless steel pipe or a reinforced non-collapsing
hose. Ferrous piping produces rust that will irreversibly foul the
membrane and void the RO unit warranty.

NOTE

Avoid connecting the inlet piping to any water line that services any other
piece of equipment. Air could be drawn through the RO unit causing
damage to the RO unit's pumps.

b) Connect the reject discharge 1½" flanged connection to an unobstructed

line connected to an appropriate drain. If the reject is discharged
overboard, the discharge port should be above the waterline. On above
waterline installations where the reject goes down more that 10 feet to its
outlet, install a vacuum breaker or vent to prevent any negative pressure
or vacuum situation at shutdown.

CAUTION

The use of galvanized steel for product piping should be avoided as small
amounts of rust may form that can be drawn back into the RO when the
system is off.

c) Connect the product water discharge 1" flanged connection to an

unobstructed line that is connected to the TOP of the product water storage
tank. If the storage tank water is chlorinated, a check valve or air gap should
be installed in the product line as a precaution to prevent chlorine damage of
the RO membranes. The air gap is often accomplished by teeing the product
connection to a tank vent or tank fill line of suitable size.

d) Connect the flush water inlet to the pressurized fresh water system on the
vessel. Do not exceed 50 psi pressure.

CAUTION

Exposing the membranes to chlorinated water may cause irreversible

damage and will void the RO unit warranty, so use the carbon flush filter
supplied.

3) Connect the following RO unit's electrical interfaces:

NOTE

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 7 Last Revised 01/12

 Strictly observe all applicable electrical codes and regulations governing
the installation and wiring of electrical equipment. Typical codes specify
the type and size of conduit, wire diameter and class of wire insulation
depending upon the amperage and environment. The power supply
should always be of a greater service rating than the requirements of the
RO unit. This will assure proper voltage even if power supply voltage is
slightly less than required. Never connect the RO unit to a line that
services another electrical device. The RO unit should have its own
dedicated power supply and breaker.

WARNING

Disconnect electrical power to RO unit and the power source before

connecting to RO unit interface. Failure to do so can cause serious
injury or death to personnel.

a) Connect the correct voltage/power supply to the three-phase or single phase

supply point in the Motor Starter Box. Correct high pressure pump rotation is
clockwise when viewing the motor fan (or counter-clockwise when viewing
from the shaft and pulley end. Correct rotation for the low pressure boost
pump is clockwise when viewing the motor fan.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Three phase power supplies will spin the motors and pumps either
rotation direction, depending on the phase sequence of the three hot
power legs. It is very important not to rotate the low pressure pump
backwards. Even “bumping” the motor for one second can cause
significant damage. The high pressure pump will not be damaged from
running backwards. Either use a phase meter to determine the rotation,
or use the high pressure pump only to check rotation and adjust the
input power legs accordingly prior to checking the low pressure pump. If
the low pressure pump is inadvertently “bumped” backwards, open the
pump and check the impellor is secured on the motor shaft and spins
freely prior to starting it again.

b) Connect a suitable ground to the RO unit skid (as determined by the

specifics of your installation).

3.0 GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION

3.1 REVERSE OSMOSIS THEORY

Reverse osmosis, like many other practical scientific methods, has been developed
from processes first observed in nature. Osmosis is a naturally occurring phenomenon
in which a semi-permeable membrane separates a pure and a concentrated solution (a
semi-permeable membrane is defined as one that preferentially passes a particular
substance). Every fluid has an inherent potential that is directly related to the type and
amount of solids in solution. This potential, referred to as osmotic pressure, increases
in proportion to relative concentration of a solution. A concentrated solution, therefore,
has an osmotic pressure that is higher than that of a pure solution.

In an osmotic system, the less concentrated solution will attempt to equalize the
concentrations of both solutions by migrating across the semi-permeable membrane.
When enough pure solution migrates across the membrane such that the inherent
potential difference between the solutions is no longer higher than the osmotic pressure
of the membrane, the purer solution will stop flowing. If the pressure on the
concentrated solution is increased to above the osmotic pressure, fluid flow will be
reversed. This condition, called Reverse Osmosis, can be established by artificially
pressurizing the more concentrated solution using a high pressure pump. In this type of
system, the concentrated solution (normally referred to as feedwater) will become more
concentrated as pure water flows out of solution and across the membrane to the
permeate side. Discounting the effects of feedwater temperature and salinity, the
operating pressure normally required to produce significant amounts of pure water is at
least twice the osmotic pressure of the membrane being used.

3.2 APPLICATION OF REVERSE OSMOSIS

Seawater contains many kinds of solids dissolved in solution. The most prevalent is
common table salt (sodium chloride). Other minerals that may be present in solution
are substances that usually contain various compounds of calcium and sulfate. The
sum of all of the solids dissolved in a particular sample of water is referred to as Total
Dissolved Solids or TDS. Seawater normally averages 32,000 to 35,000 ppm (parts per
million) TDS although variations of 5000 ppm are common in various parts of the world.
The fundamental goal any desalination process is a significant reduction in the amount
of dissolved solids in water.

In a Reverse Osmosis desalination system, most of the dissolved solids do not pass
through the membrane but are instead carried along the membrane surface. This
rejected water, referred to as brine, becomes increasingly more concentrated as it flows
along the surface of the membranes and is eventually piped to drain. The product water
that flows through the membrane is referred to as permeate. The percentage of
feedwater converted to permeate is called the recovery rate and is normally somewhere
between 20% and 30%. For example, a unit with a 29% recovery rate will produce 29
gallons of permeate for every 100 gallons of feedwater with the remaining 71 gallons
discharged to waste as brine. A higher than optimal recovery rate (which can be
obtained by increasing the back pressure on the unit above the recommended range)
results in greatly increased membrane fouling rates and a significant decrease in the
operational life of the membranes.

It should be noted that no system is capable of removing all of the dissolved solids from
seawater. The system is actually designed to reject approximately 99% of the TDS or,
in other words, to allow 1% of the 35,000 ppm TDS in the seawater to pass into the
product water. This yields water of less than 500 ppm, the recommended TDS for
drinking water. A system such as this is said to have a salt passage percentage of 1%
or a salt rejection of 99%.

3.3 PRODUCT WATER QUALITY STANDARDS

This RO unit will produce permeate (product water) with a quality of < 500 ppm TDS
and in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO) standards for drinking water.
General specifications for acceptable drinking water quality are as follows:

3.4 FACTORS AFFECTING PERMEATE PRODUCTION

3.4.1 VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND SALINITY

The following table illustrates how the quality and quantity of permeate produced in by
RO system is affected by changes in temperature, salinity and pressure:

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 11 Last Revised 01/12

 Permeate
With constant.... And increasing....
TDS Capacity
Salinity and Pressure Temperature Increases Increases
Temperature and Pressure Salinity Increases Decreases
Temperature and Salinity Pressure Decreases Increases

Table 3.1 - Factors Affecting Permeate Quality

NOTE

If feedwater salt concentration decreases, the product water flow rate

should not be allowed to increase more than 20% above rated flow.
Reject pressure will need to be lowered to maintain rated flow in brackish
water or fresh water applications.

The RO system can be adjusted to maintain a constant permeate output when

feedwater salinity is below nominal (near river mouths or in estuaries). The operator
can do this by controlling system pressure manually via the back pressure regulator
valve, V3, located in the system brine piping. For long pump life and low membrane
fouling, VMT recommends that 800 psi is not exceeded except in situations of extreme
low temperature feed water.
CAUTION

Operating the unit at more than 120% of rated capacity in low salinity
water can damage the membranes and will void the RO unit warranty.

3.4.2 TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FACTOR

As previously described, the output capacity of any RO unit is highly dependent on

feedwater temperature. In order to quantify this relationship, theoretical data has been
utilized to develop Temperature Correction Factors (TCF) to compensate measured
flowrate to calculated flowrate at 25°C/77°F. This allows the operator to establish the
baseline flow for a given temperature, allowing more accurate troubleshooting. The
procedure for calculating the temperature compensated flow is as follows:

1) Measure raw water temperature and determine the corresponding correction

factor from Table 3.2 based on the measured temperature.
2) Note the actual product flow rate at the Product Flow meter. Multiply the actual
product flow meter flow rate by the correction factor from Table 3.2 to give
theoretical temperature compensated flow under standard conditions (25°C).

Raw water temp: 15°C
TCF: 1.47
Actual product flow: 113.5 (gph)

3.5 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION

3.5.1 FILTRATION SYSTEM

Seawater supplied to the intake of the Village Marine RO desalination unit will initially
flow through the raw water strainer, ST1, which removes large particulate matter.
Once through the strainer, the raw water is supplied to the low pressure boost pump,
P1, which raises the pressure of the water in order to provide enough positive feed
pressure to flow through the filtration system and into the suction of the high pressure
pump.

For units equipped with a (optional) Media Filtration System:

 When a unit operates in areas where the raw water source of high turbidity or
organic materials, VMT recommends installing a media filtration system (IMF).
The media pump and filter, is installed upstream of the watermaker and will remove
particles as small as 25 microns in diameter. The filtration media is comprised a
multiple layers of specific materials that are specifically designed to remove
suspended particulate matter from the raw water stream. The benefit is to
significantly reduce the cleaning and replacement frequency for the micron filters.
When the media filter is fully loaded (indicated by high filter differential pressure), the
operator initiates a backwash cleaning cycle designed to flush trapped particulate
matter out of the filter and into the system drain. Please see the IMF manual or IMF
bulletin for further details.

The raw water next passes through the micron filter array, F1 & F2, which is designed
to reduce raw water turbidity to a nominal 5 microns in diameter. The micron filter array
consists of one 20 micron filter cartridge and one 5 micron filter cartridge.

Each filter housing contains one (1) filter element with an effective filtering area of 100
ft2 and is equipped with an integral air/oil separator bleed. Bleed is continuously
discharged to the reject header and overboard.

The discharge pressure from the filter housings is monitored by a pressure gauge,
PG1, and pressure switch, PS1, that allow the operator to determine when the filter
elements require cleaning or replacement.

3.5.2 REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM

The clean and filtered raw water (now referred to as feedwater) is supplied to the inlet of
the high pressure pump, P2. This pump raises feedwater pressure to 800 psi, the
nominal pressure required for optimal system recovery. The pressurized feedwater

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 14 Last Revised 01/12

then flows directly into the membrane array. The membrane array is an arrangement
of fiberglass pressure vessels each containing a RO membrane element.

The pressurized feedwater flows along the membrane elements where reverse osmosis
takes place (see Section 3.1). The feedwater flow is divided into two streams - the high
purity product stream (referred to as the permeate) and the increasingly concentrated
reject stream (referred to as the brine or reject).

After exiting the membrane array, the brine (which contains higher concentrations of
salts) flows through the back pressure regulator valve, V3. This manually adjustable
valve is used to control the back pressure through the membrane array. After passing
through the back pressure regulator, the brine flows through the reject flow meter, FM1
and exits the RO unit.

3.5.3 PRODUCT MONITORING SYSTEM

The product water stream (or permeate) flows past a conductivity sensor, which
provides a signal to the water quality monitor. Depending on the concentration of total
of dissolved solids (TDS) in the permeate stream, the following occurs:

If permeate TDS is > 500 ppm, indicating poor quality water, a signal is sent to close the
2-way product diversion valve, V6. This causes permeate system pressure to rise
until it equals the activation set point of the permeate relief valve, V7. With the relief
valve open, the poor quality water is diverted to the reject stream and away from your
storage tanks. A product pressure gauge, PG3 is supplied to enable accurate
adjustment of the product relief valve to about 40 psi in most installations.

If the permeate has < 500 ppm TDS, indicating good quality (drinking) water, a signal is
sent to open the product diversion valve. The relief valve then shuts allowing the
permeate to pass through the product flow meter, FM2 and then on to the potable
water storage tank(s).

3.5.4 MEMBRANE CLEANING SYSTEM

This RO unit includes a membrane cleaning system which provides a means for
removing performance degrading organic foulants and scale deposits from the RO
membranes (occurs approximately every 30 – 90 days during constant use). By using
the filter housings as cleaning solution tanks, the pumps, a cleaning valve V5, and a
high pressure bypass valve V4, the membranes can be chemically cleaned in place.
Complete information and cleaning procedures can be found in Section 5.5.

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 15 Last Revised 01/12

3.6 WATER QUALITY MONITOR

The Water Quality Monitor (MON) monitors and displays permeate salinity, temperature
and accumulated unit operating hours. It also provides operational mode control of the
system product valve.

3.6.1 PUSHBUTTONS

 Temperature – allows the operator to display permeate temperature (as opposed to

the normal permeate salinity display). By changing a jumper located on the back of
the monitor, the temperature can be displayed in ºF or ºC.

 Salinity Alarm Set Point – allows the operator to display and vary (via a control knob
located on the back of the monitor) the salinity alarm set point.

 Mode – allows the operator to bypass the normal automatic operation and manually
close the product valve (called DUMP mode, used, for instance, during cleaning).

3.6.2 DISPLAYS AND LIGHTS

 Normal Operation – a green light is illuminated when the product valve is energized
and permeate is flowing through the product valve.

 Dump/Cleaning – a yellow light is illuminated when the product valve is de-energized

and the product valve is closed.

 Salinity Alarm – a red, flashing light indicates that permeate quality is above the
salinity set point.

4.0 OPERATION

4.1 START-UP PROCEDURE

NOTE

The HP Pump should rotate in the counter-clockwise direction (when

facing the protruding end of the shaft).

1) Check the HP pump oil level by observing sight gauge located on the pump.

2) On initial start up, check the drive belt tension by removing the belt guard. See
Section 5.4 for detailed procedure.

WARNING

De-energize (lock out or disconnect) the electrical supply to RO unit

before attempting to check or adjust drive belt tension. Serious injury to
personnel can result if the RO unit is started while checking drive belt
tension.

3) Open the raw saltwater supply to the unit. On pressurized feed systems, water
may now be flowing through the watermaker.

4) On initial start up, check the tightness of all lines and fittings.

5) If equipped with an IMF or other media filter, backwash and rinse media filter as
required for initial startup or after long periods of standby. With fresh fill of
media, multiple backwash and rinse sequences will be required. See IMF
manual.

6) Place the RO unit's valves and switches in the positions shown in Table 4.0.

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 19 Last Revised 01/12

 CAUTION

Failure to open the High Pressure Bypass Valve (which is required to

bleed any entrapped air) can result in hydraulic shock to the system.

6) Verify electrical power is supplied to the RO unit.

CAUTION

The low pressure (LP) boost pump should not be started if the feed system
pressure as read on the inlet side of the Pre-filter Pressure gauge is more than
40 psi. Operate with only the HP pump if feed pressure is in excess of 40 psi to
avoid overpressure to the feed water system components.

7) Start the pumps in turn, feed pump (if equipped), boost pump and then the HP
pump. At least 10 psi must be indicated on the discharge side of the Pre-filter
Pressure gauge.

8) Inspect all plumbing connections in the unit for leakage. Temperature variations
during shipment may cause plumbing connections to seep when initially started
on-site. Secure the unit and repair any leaks prior to proceeding. Once the leaks
have been repaired, open the raw water source and re-start the unit.

9) When flow through the reject discharge flow meter appears to be free of air
bubbles, place the High Pressure Bypass Valve, V4, in the closed position by
slowly turning the handle in the clockwise direction.

NOTE

When the High Pressure Bypass Valve is closed, the salinity of the initial
permeate produced may be temporarily high and will probably be
enough to temporarily energize the salinity alarm.

10) Observe the system pressure on the discharge side of the RO Membrane Array
Pressure gauge. For seawater applications, indicated pressure should be preset
to 800 psi. If the indication is other than 800 psi, adjust the nut on top of the back
pressure regulator valve, V3, using a wrench until the discharge side of the RO
Membrane Array Pressure gauge indicates 800 psi. In conjunction with
adjustment of the regulator, adjust the trim valve, V9, to find the quietest
operating point.

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 20 Last Revised 01/12

 WARNING

Pressure, as indicated on the inlet side of the RO Membrane Array gauge,

should never exceed 1000 psi.

NOTE

The system pressure required to produce equivalent amounts of permeate

is lower for fresh water sources (approximately 200 psi) and brackish
water sources (approximately 400 psi) than for seawater applications.
Reduce system pressure as necessary to maintain system output at no
more than 120% of rated capacity.

11) Normally, during start-up using seawater, the Salinity alarm (red) will remain lit
for approximately 2 minutes. When the product water quality drops below 500
ppm TDS, the green lamp will light. The water quality monitor will then open the
product diversion valve, which will direct the product water to the product water
flow meter. If the green lamp does not light within 10 minutes, sample the
product water from the pressure vessel sample valves and confirm with a
handheld salinity meter.

12) Observe the Product Flow meter. This flow meter indicates, in gallons per
minute (gpm), the product water flow rate. Record the product flow after 5 hours
of operation (use the sample log sheet provided in Figure 5.1). This indication
will provide the baseline used to determine RO membrane cleaning
requirements. Normally, a drop of 10-15% in the temperature corrected product
water production rate indicates the need for RO membrane cleaning (see Section
3.4 for a more detailed information concerning variations in product flow).

13) Observe the Reject Flow meter. This flow meter indicates, in gallons per minute
(gpm) the reject flow rate from the RO array. Record the reject flow after the first
5 hours of operation (use the sample log sheet provided in Figure 5.1).

4.2 SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES

4.2.1 SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE (SHORT TERM)

1) Release the pressure from the system by turning the High Pressure Bypass
Valve, V4, counter-clockwise to the Cleaning (open) position.

2) Secure the HP pump by pressing the red HP PUMP STOP button located on the
front panel.

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 21 Last Revised 01/12

3) If required, secure the LP boost pump by pressing the red LP PUMP STOP
button located on the front panel.

4) Secure the feedwater system by closing a feedwater valve upstream of the water
maker or by turning the Flush Valve, V10, to the midway position. If the
anticipated shutdown period will be 24 hours or more, flush the system as per
Section 4.3 - Flushing Procedure.

4.2.2 SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE (EXTENDED)

Since bacteria and biologic growth increases significantly the longer stagnant water is in
contact with the membranes, the fresh flushing procedure (Section 4.3) should be used
whenever the unit will be secured for more than 1 or 2 days. Although they do not
attack the membranes or other system components directly, high concentrations of
biological matter can block enough of the product water channels to cause a reduction
of as much as 40% of the total system capacity.

CAUTION

Failure to follow the extended shutdown procedure can result in

irreversible fouling to the RO membranes.

Bacterial contamination can be avoided by following the following procedures:

 Flush the RO unit with non-chlorinated fresh water for 2 - 4 minutes.

 Reflush the RO unit for 2 - 4 minutes every 7 days.
 Or, Pickle the RO unit with a preservative solution. Refresh the preservative
every 3 months. Follow the preservation instructions provided in Section 5.6.

4.3 FRESH WATER FLUSH PROCEDURE

Note: Fresh flushing water should pass through the carbon flush filter supplied on the
PW unit so it is non-chlorinated. Exposing the membranes to chlorinated water may
cause irreversible membrane damage. The carbon filter element should be changed
once per year or after 50 flushes. It is designed to remove normal concentrations of
free chlorine (0.5 to 1.0 ppm). Do not flush with shock-chlorinated water. Once the
watermaker is shut off and isolated, the flush procedure is:

1) Make sure the HP Bypass Valve, V4, is in the counterclockwise (open) position.

2) Turn the Flush Valve, V10, to the flush position to bring freshwater to the feed of
the watermaker.

3) Start the LP boost pump.

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 22 Last Revised 01/12

4) Once you have observed fresh water flow through Reject Flow meter, run the
system for an additional 2 to 4 minutes. For greater flushing flow, start the HP
pump as well.

5) Secure the pumps. Return the Flush Valve, V10, to midway position, isolating
the watermaker.

5.0 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 GENERAL

The service life of most of the system equipment is directly related to the raw water inlet
conditions. Improper maintenance will also significantly reduce the life expectancy of
the major unit components (such as the membranes, filters and pumps) as well as the
reliability of the unit as a whole. Under normal conditions, and with proper
maintenance, a reverse osmosis membrane (which is the major consumable item)
should have an effective service life somewhere between 1 to 2 years heavy use.

5.2 RAW WATER STRAINER INSPECTION

1) Isolate the raw water supply and open the strainer housing.

2) Remove the screen from the strainer bowl. Remove any debris from screen and
inspect the screen closely for damage. Replace as required.

3) Check the sealing gasket or o-ring is in good condition, and keeping the seal in
place install the screen and reclose the strainer housing hand tight. Start the RO
and check for leaks.

5.3 FILTER ELEMENT CLEANING OR REPLACEMENT

The filter elements should be replaced when the discharge side of the pressure gauge
drops below 5 psi or the differential pressure is 20 psi. Each PW3000-20000 employs a
filter array consisting of one (1) 20 micron, 100 ft2 filter in series with one (1) 5 micron,
100 ft2 filter. VMT filters can be washed and re-used 2-3 times provided it is not
contaminated with oil or organic growth.

Description Qty VMT Part #

Micron filter, 20 micron, 100 ft2 1 33-2100
Micron filter, 5 micron, 100 ft2 1 33-5100
O-ring, filter lid, 100 ft2 2 30-0405
Filter, complete assembly, 100 ft2 2 30-4353

Table 5.0 - Filter Tank Parts List.

CAUTION

VMT filter cartridges are specifically designed for RO applications and

constructed with an oil attractive polypropylene. Use of non-approved
cartridges will void the RO unit warranty.

Replace the filter element(s) using the following procedure:

1) Secure the RO unit. Close the raw water supply (external) to RO unit.

2) Loosen and remove the bolts or wing-nuts that hold the filter tank lid in place.
Remove the tank lid.

3) Remove the filter element. If required, first break the filter seal by rocking the
filter from side to side.

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 24 Last Revised 01/12

4) The filter element may be cleaned by flushing it with water to remove foreign
matter from the filter pleats. If the filter element appears oil-fouled or is damaged
in any way, discard it and install a new element.

5) Reinstall the filter element. Be sure to install the filter element with the end
marked "TOP" upwards. Ensure a proper seal by pressing the filter element
down into place until it reaches the bottom and is fully seated.

6) Reinstall the filter tank lid. Tighten the bolts or nuts.

7) After the filter element has been changed, operate the RO unit and check for
leaks.

5.4 DRIVE BELT INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

Proper adjustment of the HP pump drive belt(s) is essential for proper operation of the
system. The drive belt(s) should be inspected for cracking, fraying and excessive wear.
Replace the belts immediately it the inspection indicates that the belt(s) are damaged.

WARNING

Disconnect electrical supply to RO unit before attempting to check.

Serious injury to personnel can result if RO unit is started when checking
drive belt.

1) Remove the mounting screws that hold the left front panel in place and remove
the panel.

2) Inspect drive belt carefully for wear and proper tension. The belt should deflect
approximately ½ " when a force of 6-9 lbs is applied at a point halfway between
the pulleys. Remember that cogged drive belts are never kept as tight as V drive
belts, and overtightened belts will create a squealing sound and can damage
bearings. Adjust the base plate as required to obtain proper belt tension.

3) If the drive belt is damaged or shows any evidence of excessive wear, replace
the drive belt:

a) Locate the HP pump's mounting nuts on the adjustable pump base.

Loosen the nuts to relax the belt tension.

b) Remove the old drive belt and install new one ensuring they are properly
positioned in the pulleys.

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 25 Last Revised 01/12

 c) Check the drive belt tension. Adjust the base plate as required to obtain
proper belt tension.

(d) Be sure to properly align the pump and motor pulleys using a straight
edge (at a minimum). After the belt has been sufficiently tightened and
aligned, secure the HP pump by tightening the pump mounting nuts.

4) Replace the side panel on the RO unit

5.5 RO MEMBRANE CLEANING

This section is designed to guide the operator in the periodic chemical cleaning of RO
membrane elements used in the PW3000-20000 unit. The basic procedure for all
cleaning and preservative treatments is the same - a specific chemical solution is
circulated through the system for a pre-determined length of time.

PW3000-6000 PW7000-20000
Cleaning Chemical #1 5 to 15 lbs (8 to 25 cups) 6 to 20 lbs (10 to 33 cups)
Cleaning Chemical #2 4 to 12 lbs (7 to 20 cups) 5 to 15 lbs (8 to 25 cups)
Preservative Chemical #3 4 lbs (6 cups) 5 lbs (8 cups)

Table 5.1 - Chemical Requirements

There is a large variance in the required amount of chemical due to several factors. If
RO product water is used to flush the unit prior to cleaning, the quantity required will be
on the lower side. If the fresh water flush is done with dock or city water that is hard,
then the required amount will rise. If the unit is significantly fouled, the quantity also
rises. The key is to use only enough chemical to achieve the desired pH (pH 11 for #1
and pH 3 for #2). Extreme pH will damage the membranes, so do not exceed the
recommendations. For the first cleaning of a system, use the lower quantities and
measure the pH after circulating as described below. Keep adding chemical as needed
until the cleaning solution maintains the desired pH level. Keep a record of the total
chemical needed, so that on subsequent cleanings the correct amount can be used
without the needed pH measurements and adjustments.

5.5.1 CLEANING CHEMICALS

The alkaline detergent (Cleaning Chemical #1) is used to remove biological matter and
grime from the surface of the RO membranes. The acid cleaner (Cleaning Chemical
#2) is used to remove mineral scale deposits.

CAUTION

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 26 Last Revised 01/12

 The use of chemicals or cleaning methods other than those outlined below
will void the RO unit warranty. Non-ionic surfactants for membrane
cleaning or other chemicals not approved in writing by VMT will void the
RO unit warranty.

5.5.2 WHEN TO CLEAN

During normal operations, mineral scale and biological matter will foul the RO
membranes. These deposits build up over time and will eventually cause a loss of
product water output, salt rejection capability, or both. The RO elements should be
cleaned whenever the temperature corrected product water output drops by 10-15%
from the initial baseline established during the first hours of operation with new
membranes. Prior to cleaning the membranes, verify that any reduction in product
output is not the result of a corresponding variation in raw water inlet temperature or
salinity. See Section 3.4 for more detailed information.

NOTE

Product water output of the system is dependent upon feedwater

temperature, RO feed pressure and feedwater salinity. Reductions in
product water output due to these factors are normal and may not indicate
the need for membrane cleaning. See Section 3.4 for more detail.

Use the following procedure to clean the RO elements:

1) Flush the watermaker per section 4.3, so it is filled with fresh water, not
seawater.

2) Dissolve the appropriate amount of Cleaning Chemical #1 (see Table 5.1) in a

pail of fresh water. Make sure that that the chemical is completely dissolved (use
warm water if necessary).

NOTE

Cleaning Chemical #1 is an alkaline detergent. Use appropriate safety

precautions.

3) Verify the High Pressure Bypass Valve, V4, is in its Cleaning (open) position.

4) Place the Cleaning Valve, V5, in the Cleaning Flow position.

5) Remove the filter elements from both filter tanks and replace the 5 micron filter
with a dedicated cleaning filter (5 micron). A dedicated cleaning filter should be
used to prevent fouling of the operational filters. When the cleaning process is

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 27 Last Revised 01/12

 complete the dedicated cleaning filter can be cleaned and set aside until the next
membrane cleaning is required. Pour the chemical solution into the empty 20
micron filter housing and the 5 micron housing (drain water first as necessary)
and reinstall the filter housing lids.

6) Start the LP boost pump.

7) Start the HP pump. At least 0 psi must be indicated on the discharge side of the
Pre-filter Pressure gauge. Temporarily cracking open the flush valve will boost
the cleaning loop pressure if required.

a) After the chemical solution has circulated for 3 minutes, secure the
pumps, release any loop pressure by momentarily moving the cleaning
valve, V5, to the normal position and back to cleaning. Take a sample
from the cleaning loop from the filter tank drain valve or by opening the
tank lid. Measure the pH of the sample using a pH meter or test kit VMT#
90-0135.

b) If the pH < 11 then add 10% more of the cleaning solution. Repeat this
step until the pH = 11.

c) Once a pH = 11 can be maintained start the LP and HP pumps and allow

the cleaning solution to circulate for an additional 30-40 minutes.

8) Secure the HP and LP pumps.

9) Place the Cleaning valve, V5, in the Normal Flow position.

10) Open raw water supply to the RO unit external to the unit and make sure the
Flushing Valve, V10, is turned to the Normal, seawater position.

11) Start the LP boost pump and HP pump. Allow both pumps to run for 5 minutes to
flush the chemical solution from the unit.

12) Secure the HP pump and the LP boost pump.

13) Flush the watermaker, so it is filled with fresh water, not seawater.

14) Dissolve the appropriate amount of Cleaning Chemical #2 (see Table 5.1) in a
pail of fresh water. Make sure that that the chemical is completely dissolved (use
warm water if necessary).

NOTE

Cleaning Chemical #2 is an acid used for mineral scale removal. Use

appropriate safety precautions when handling.

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 28 Last Revised 01/12

15) Place the Cleaning Valve, V5, in the Cleaning Flow position.

16) Remove the lid from the 20 micron filter tank, pour the cleaning solution into the
tank (drain water first as necessary) and replace the lid.

17) Start the LP boost pump.

18) Start the HP pump. At least 0 psi must be indicated on the discharge side of the
Pre-filter Pressure gauge, PG1. Temporarily cracking open the flush valve will
boost the cleaning loop pressure if required.

a) After the chemical solution has circulated for 3 minutes, secure the boost
pump, release any loop pressure by momentarily moving the cleaning
valve, V5, to the normal position and back to cleaning. Take a sample
from the cleaning loop from the filter tank drain valve or by opening the
tank lid. Measure the pH of the sample using test kit VMT# 90-0135.

b) If the pH > 3 add 10% more of the cleaning solution. Repeat this step until
the pH < 3.

c) Once a pH of less then 3 can be maintained replace the filter tank lid, start
the LP and HP pumps and allow the cleaning solution to circulate for an
additional 30-40 minutes.

19) Secure the HP and LP pumps.

20) Place the Cleaning valve in the Normal Flow position.

21) Open raw water supply to the RO unit (external to the unit).

22) Start the LP boost pump and HP pump. Allow both pumps to run for 5 minutes to
flush the chemical solution from the unit.

23) Secure the HP pump and the LP boost pump.

24) Close raw water supply to RO unit (external to the unit).

25) Remove, set aside and retain the cleaning filter for future use. Replace the
operational 20 and 5 micron filter elements in the filter housings and replace both
housing lids.

26) Place the unit back into service using the procedure contained in Section 4.1 -
Start-up Procedure.

5.6 RO ELEMENT PRESERVATION / PICKLING

During periods when the RO unit is to be shut down for an extended period of time, it is
necessary to circulate a preservative solution through the membranes to prevent the
growth of biological organisms. Use the following procedure to preserve the RO
elements:

1) Secure the raw water supply to RO unit (external to the unit).

2) Dissolve the appropriate amount of Cleaning Chemical #3 (see Table 5.1) in a

pail of non-chlorinated product water. Make sure that that the chemical is
completely dissolved (use warm water if necessary).

NOTE

Preservative Chemical #3 is a food-grade preservative. See warning label

on package and observe all safety precautions on label.

3) Flush the watermaker, so it is filled with fresh water, not seawater (see section
4.3)

4) Make sure the High Pressure Bypass Valve is in the Cleaning (open) position.

5) Place the Cleaning Valve in the Cleaning Flow position.

6) Remove one of the filter housing lids (draining water as necessary) and pour in
the preservative solution prepared in step #1. Reinstall the lid. Leave the filters
elements in place.

7) Start the LP boost pump.

8) Start the HP pump. At least 0 psi must be indicated on the discharge side of the
Pre-filter Pressure gauge. Temporarily cracking open the flush valve will boost
the cleaning loop pressure if required. Allow the chemical solution to circulate for
10 minutes.

9) Secure the LP and HP pumps.

10) The system is now properly conditioned and may be left idle for an extended
period of time. This preservation procedure (including the fresh flush to remove
old pickling solution) should be repeated at least every 3 months during the
shutdown. In colder climates the interval between preservation cycles may be
extended to 6 months.

6.1 PRESSURE VESSEL DISASSEMBLY

NOTE

It is not necessary to remove a pressure vessel from the RO unit for

disassembly.

1) Disconnect all plumbing connections from the pressure vessel to be

disassembled.

2) Remove the bolts holding each end plug in place with an Allen wrench. Place a
mark on each end plug removed and its corresponding collar. This will ensure
proper orientation during assembly.
JACKING SCREW
HOLES

Figure 6.0 - Pressure Vessel End Plug

3) Locate the jacking screws on opposite sides of the end cap (see Figure 6.0).
Screw in the correct size bolt until the end cap is pulled off. There are also
prying slots on either side of the end plug to assist in removal.

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 34 Last Revised 01/12

 Figure 6.1 - Brine Seal Orientation

4) Note which end of the pressure vessel the brine seal is visible from. This is the
feed end of the pressure vessel. When reinstalling the RO membrane, the brine
seal must be located at the feed end of the pressure vessel. Note the feed flow
direction marked by a sticker on the outside of the pressure vessel, or trace the
flow direction from the high pressure pump to confirm the high pressure flow
direction. See Figure 6.1.

CAUTION

Never force a membrane out of a pressure vessel by applying pressure on

the product water tube (center tube) as this will damage the membrane. If
the membrane is difficult to remove, use a length of 2" plastic pipe to apply
pressure on the protected end of membrane.

5) Whenever possible, remove the membrane from the discharge end of the
pressure vessel (opposite the brine seal). This is accomplished by pushing on
the membrane from the feed end of the pressure vessel until it is visible at the
discharge end. Then grasp the protruding membrane and pull it out of pressure
vessel. Place the membrane in a clean area.

6) Remove the product water o-rings and end plug o-ring from each end plug for
inspection. The product water o-rings are internal o-rings located inside the
center hole in the end cap.

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 35 Last Revised 01/12

6.2 PRESSURE VESSEL ASSEMBLY

1) Clean all parts thoroughly. Inspect the o-rings on all fittings. Replace any parts
that are damaged.

NOTE

Do not apply Teflon tape or other sealant to straight thread fittings such as
those used on HP hose assemblies and their adapters.

2) Install the product water and end plug o-rings onto the end plugs. Lubricate the
o-rings and entrances to the pressure vessel with glycerin or silicone lubricant.
Locate the discharge end of pressure vessel. Install the end plug into the
discharge end making sure to align the end plug holes and the mounting holes
on the pressure vessel while paying particular attention to the reference mark
(see Section 6.3.1, Step 2). Apply pressure to the end plug until screws can be
threaded into the collars. If the end plug will not slide into the pressure vessel
sufficiently, see Figure 6.2 for an installation aid. Install and hand tighten the
screws.

Figure 6.2 - End Plug Installation Aid

3) Lubricate the brine seal and product water tubes of RO membrane with glycerin
or silicone lubricant. Do not use a petroleum based lubricant. Orient the
membrane such that the end without the brine seal enters the feed end of the
pressure vessel first. Slide the membrane into the pressure vessel until

PW-3000 to PW-20000 Manual 36 Last Revised 01/12

 resistance is felt. Continue to apply moderate pressure until the product water
tube seats in the end plug.

4) Install the remaining end plug making sure to align the end plug holes with the
mounting holes on the pressure vessel while paying particular attention to the
reference mark (see Section 6.3.1, Step 2). Apply moderate pressure to the end
plug until the screws can be threaded into the collar. If the end plug will not slide
into the pressure vessel sufficiently, see Figure 6.2 for installation aid. Install and
hand tighten the capscrews.

5) Make sure that antiseize compound is applied to each screw before the final
tightening and torque the screws to 15 ft-lbs.

6) Reconnect all plumbing connections to pressure vessels.

7.0 PRESERVATION FOR STORAGE

When the Village Marine Tec RO unit is to be shut down for an extended period of time,
it is necessary take steps to prevent the growth of biological organisms and to prevent
the water in the RO unit from freezing. Either continue to flush the unit with fresh water
each week, or circulate a preservative solution (see section 5.6). If the unit will at any
time be exposed to air temperatures of 32ºF (0ºC) or less, the membranes must be
removed and the unit fully drained or the unit filled with an anti freeze solution such as
propylene glycol.

8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

No amount of trouble shooting advice can replace common sense and direct plant
knowledge gained through the operation and maintenance of your unit. However our
experience taking tec calls suggests some points to check.

1. Always verify proper valve configuration for each of the operational modes
selected. Verify valve positions for valves within the unit and also external valves
are open as required.

2. Always check for positive pressure at the HP pump suction. Many problems
stem from low or erratic feed water supply. Check filters, strainer, seacock,
boost pumps, etc to be sure of flooded suction to the HP pump.

3. Always check for loose connections or broken wires when inspecting electrical
parts. Checking for continuity and solid contact can sometimes avoid hours of
troubleshooting effort.

4. Prior to cleaning or replacing membranes, verify that any reduction in product

output is not the result of a corresponding variation in raw water inlet temperature
or salinity. See Section 3.4 for more detailed information.

Call or email us at the Village Marine Tec Service representative or distributor for
assistance.

High Pressure Titanium Positive Displacement Pump

INITIAL START-UP INFORMATION

WARNING

This is a positive displacement pump. A properly designed pressure relief safety valve must be installed in the discharge
piping. Failure to install such a relief mechanism could result in personal injury or damage to the pump or system. Aqua
Pro Pumps does not assume any liability or responsibility for the operation of a customer’s high-pressure system.

The performance of the pump depends on the entire fluid system and will operate best with the proper installation of
plumbing, operation, and maintenance of the pump.

LUBRICATION

It is recommended that the pump be filled with Village Marine Tec’s specially blended high pressure pump oil (PN 85-
0050). To check the oil level, ensure the pump has stopped running. Observe oil level through the sight glass in the
crankcase cover. The oil should be level with the mark on the sight glass (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1: Oil Level Sight Glass Detail.

NOTE

Change the original oil in the pump after 50 hours of operation. After the initial oil change, the oil should be changed at
500-hour service intervals.

Ensure drive belt is adequately sized for system and shaft bearings. Pulley alignment is critical to the proper operation of
the system. To check for proper alignment, place a straight edge, square, or rule against the pulleys to make sure they
are in line. Proper alignment of the drive pulleys will minimize crankshaft bearing and belt wear. Over-tensioning of the
drive belt may cause pump crankshaft bearing damage.

DISCHARGE PLUMBING

CAUTION

Start system with all valves open or with minimal flow restriction to avoid deadhead overpressure conditions and severe
damage to the pump or system. Discharge regulating devices should be at minimum pressure setting at start-up.

2
 CAUTION

DO NOT RUN PUMP WITH FROZEN FLUID. DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY.

STORAGE

For extended storage or between uses in cold climates, drain all pumped fluids from pump and flush with antifreeze
solution to prevent freezing and damage to the pump.

VALVE INSPECTION AND SERVICE

Valves may be serviced while the manifold assembly is attached to the crankcase assembly. In most cases, service can be
completed while the pump is in place within the watermaker system.

Remove ten valve plugs (44) from the manifold using a 1 ½“ socket wrench. Remove the valves (41) and springs (42)
from each valve port. Inspect the curved valve surface for damage or distortion. A circular mark from the valve seat is
normal, but should not advance to distorting the valve shape. If a valve is broken or pitted, use a flashlight to examine the
seat inside the valve port. Inspection will ensure that the valve seat has not been damaged by debris.

Depending on the condition, either replace or clean and reuse valves and springs. A set of 10 valve and 10 springs is
available as PN 70-1057. Apply a light coat of silicon grease (PN 21-1122) to the valve plug o-ring (43). Apply anti-seize
lubricant (PN 85-0094) to the valve plug threads. Assemble the valves, springs and plugs as shown in Fig. 9, and tighten
the valve plugs back into the manifold.

SEAL REPLACEMENT

If condition based seal service is required (Seal Kit PN 70-3080), use the following instructions outlined in the OIL SEAL
REPLACEMENT section. To determine the need of condition based service, look for signs of oil or water drip under the
pump. Once the manifold is detached from the crankcase, the low pressure water seals (40) are exposed on the manifold
surface and can easily be replaced. If undertaking the complete 10,000 hour service with kits 70-3075 and 70-3078, then
follow the detailed instructions.

SERVICING THE CRANKCASE

The following are the procedures for servicing the crankcase assembly using the 5P50 Crankcase Rebuild Kit
(PN. 70-3078). The manifold assembly must be detached from the crankcase to do the following service.

PLUG, OIL DRAIN, O-RING REPLACEMENT

Remove the oil drain plug (5) with a 1” wrench and drain the crankcase oil. Clean the drain plug (5), and remove the o-
ring (4) with the aid of the pick if necessary. Replace the o-ring with the new one supplied with kit. Apply anti-seize lube
to the threads of the drain plug (5) and reinstall.

OIL SEAL REPLACEMENT

Remove the seal retainer (33) and set aside, see Fig. 6. Remove the plunger retainer nut (32) with a 9/16” wrench and set
aside. Remove the plunger retainer washer (31) and back-up ring (29), Fig. 5, and remove the ceramic plunger (8).
Remove the keyhole washer (26), then remove the slinger (25), see Fig. 4. Using a flat head screwdriver and hammer,
drive the screwdriver into the meat of the seal (6). Be careful not to scratch the inner or outer metal sealing surfaces. A
quick twist of the screwdriver will remove the seal. Do not attempt to preserve the seal for reuse. Inspect the seal retainer
washers for damage; if none is evident then reuse.

NOTE

A light coating of silicon grease (PN. 21-1122) should be used on all new o-rings and seals. Use of any other type of
grease may result in o-ring or seal failure.

Insert new plunger rod oil seal (6) into crankcase ensuring that the seal is fully seated. Place slinger (25) onto the plunger
rod (8), followed by the keyhole washer (26) as shown in Fig. 4. Chase the thread of the plunger rod and the retainer stud
with the tap and die to ensure the removal of any left over loctite prior to reassembly.

CRANKSHAFT BEARING, CONNECTING ROD-PISTON SERVICE

When feasible, it is recommended that any service to the Crankshaft (11), Connecting Rods (10), and Plunger
Rods (8) be done by sending the pump back to the factory for rebuilding.

CRANKSHAFT REMOVAL

Crankshaft removal is not necessary for overhaul of seals.

NOTE: The Manifold, Plunger assembly, Bearing Side Plates, and Crankcase Cover must be removed before attempting
to remove the crankshaft.

You will need these tools and parts to do the following:

 3/8” 12-point Socket Wrench
 Arbor press for Connecting Rod/Plunger Pin
 Bearing Puller
 Snap Ringer Pliers

Using a 23-point socket, unscrew the connecting rod Bolts (10)

13
5P50 Titan Series
High Pressure Titanium Positive Displacement Pump

(NOTICE: Unscrew one connecting rod cap at a time. Keep the bolts in the same hold it came out of. Store the
connecting rod caps like the picture below in order from 1-5. Fig. 8)

Fig. 8 Keep parts organized

Push the connecting rod assembly in as far as possible away from the Crankshaft (11).

Make sure the Connecting Rods (10) are clear from the path of the crankshaft.

Rotate the Crankshaft (11) by hand to feel for smooth bearing movement. If movement is rough, Bearings (12) needs to
be replaced. Inspect the bearing surface of the connecting rod end caps. Some scoring is considered acceptable, but
irregular wear patterns are not. This is where the decision is made on whether to replace the connecting rods and crank
bearings. If bearing surface passes inspection, reassembly can begin.

If not already done, remove both Bearing Side Plates (13)(14).

Using a press, press out the Crankshaft (11) from the key slotted side.

The crankshaft should come out of the crankcase with one Bearing (12) on the non-key slotted side and one Bearing (12)
still in the Crankcase (1).

Pull off the Bearing (12) on the Crankshaft (11) with a bearing puller (fig. 9).

14
 Fig. 9 Removal of the Crankshaft bearing

Slide out the Connecting Rods (10) and the Plunger Rod Assembly (8). Check for abnormal wear or scoring.

***Note: Remember where each connecting rod came out of the crankcase. Keep them in the same order. The
connecting Rods and Caps are numbered for this reason. (Lay down connecting rods and caps in order removed.
Ensure connecting rods remain in order with caps.)

Remove the Plunger Rod Seal (6). (Do this step only if not already done.)

The Connecting Rod (10) is attached to the Plunger Rod Assembly (8) by a press fit Pin (9). Unless necessary, do not
disassemble.

CRANKSHAFT INSTALLATION

You will need these tools and parts to do the following:

 Arbor press for Connecting Rod/Plunger Pin
 Press for Crankshaft removal
 Torque Wrench
 ¼” Allen wrench
 3/8” 12-point Socket Wrench
 Silicone Grease – PN. 21-1122
 Anti-seize lubricant – PN. 85-0094
 Red Loctite
 Snap Ring Pliers

Press in the Crankshaft Bearing (12) into the right Crankshaft bore of the Crankcase (1). If any wear, rough spinning, or
looseness is noted, then use new bearings. (Freezing the bearing may help with the press fit.)

Apply silicone grease onto the O-ring (15) and the Crankshaft Seal (16). Install the Bearing Plate O-ring (15) and
Crankshaft Seal (16) into the pulley side Bearing Plate (14).

15
5P50 Titan Series
High Pressure Titanium Positive Displacement Pump

Apply a light coat of anti-seize to the 4 Socket Head Cap Screws (17). Install the pulley side Bearing Side Pate (14) using
the 4 Socket Head Cap Screws (17) with a ¼” Allen wrench

Insert Plunger oil Seal (6) into crankcase. Make sure that the seal is fully seated. (Do this step only if not already done.)

Attach the Connecting Rod (10) and Plunger Rod Assembly (8) using the Press Fit Pin (9). Press the pins in using an
arbor press (Freezing the Pins (9) and assembling while cold may help in this process.)

Insert the Connecting Rod (10) and the Plunger Rod Assembly (8) in the Crankcase (1) in the same order as when they
were take out. (The connecting rods are numbered 1, 2, 3… Make certain that the order is correct and that the
connecting rod caps’ number corresponds to the connecting rods’ number. The number one Connecting Rod should be
closest to the pulley side of the Crankshaft.)

Push the connecting rod assembly in as far as possible away from the Crankshaft (11) insertion path. Make sure the
Connecting Rods (10) are clear from the path of the crankshaft.

Slide in the Crankshaft (11), keyed side first, from the right side of the Crankcase (1) to the left side, through the
Crankshaft Bearing (12). A press may be needed to accomplish this step. The connecting rod bearing surfaces must
exactly align with the plunger bores to avoid bending pressure on the connecting rods.

Press in the left Crankshaft Bearing (38) (closed center hole side).

Apply a light coat of silicone grease to the new Bearing Side Plate O-rings (15).

Apply a light coast of anti-seize to the 4 Socket Head Cap Screws (17). Install the Closed Bearing Side Plate (13) using
the 4 Socket Head Cap Screws (17) with a ¼” Allen Wrench.

Apply red loctite to the threads of the Connecting Rod Cap Bolts. Install the Connecting Rod Caps to their corresponding
Connecting Rods (10) (There are numbers inscribed on the connecting rods and the connecting rod caps. Make sure that
they match up, e.g. 1 and 1, 2 and 2, and 3 and 3.) Pre torque the Connecting Rod Bolts to 100 in. lb. Then torque the
Connecting Rod Bolts to 230 in. lb. with a 3/8” 12-point Socket Wrench
