A full inspection of the generating set must be made immediately on delivery to confirm that there is no damage.
If there is any damage then write this clearly on the delivery note and inform your dealer or Beta Marine by the next
working day. It would be appreciated for any claims to be supported by relevant photographs.
INITIAL RECEIPT OF THE GENERATING SET
{
The generating set must be stored in a dry, frost free area and this is best done in its packing case. If storage is to
be more than six months then the engine must be inhibited (contact your dealer or Beta Marine). Failure to inhibit
the engine may result in the formation of rust in the injection system and the engine bores, this could invalidate the
warranty.

Safety Precautions!
WARNING! - ELECTRICITY IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE DEATH IF THE
GENERATING SET IS NOT CORRECTLY INSTALLED, MAINTAINED AND USED
IMPORTANT!
The decision to connect to the AC electrical output terminals of the generating set is the
responsibility of a qualified/certified electrician who is also responsible for ensuring the safety,
integrity & quality of the electrical circuit being connecting to.
The installation and earthing must be carried out in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE wiring
regulations and we recommend that a ‘Completion Certificate’ is issued by the electrician upon completion.
Standard single phase generating sets leave Beta Marine with one pole earthed (grounded) at the terminal
box (neutral bonding).
The generating set should not be used without the Control Module supplied by Beta Marine Ltd.
Beta Marine recommends the installation of an ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker) or an RCD (Residual
Current Device) and a consumer unit with suitably rated MCB’s.
For deck mounted equipment proper waterproof plugs/sockets should be used.
