FUEL
Use a clean, good quality diesel fuel with a cetane num-
ber of 45 or greater. Clean fuel prevents the fuel injec-
tors and pumps from clogging. Avoid storing the fuel for
more than a month. Take care to keep all dirt, water and
other contaminents out of the fuel to prevent the growth
of microbes. Microbes form slime that clogs the fuel fil-
ter and lines.
NEVER store diesel fuel in galvanized containers; the
galvanized coating reacts chemically to produce flaking
that quickly clogs filters or causes fuel pump or injector
failure.
The generator draws fuel from its own tank located on
the port aft side of the compartment. The fuel system
has its own filter and fuel level indicator. The exhaust
from the generator passes through a high efficiency ma-
rine lift type water cooled muffler and is discharged by a
flexible hose via a through hull fitting. The generator has
a steel housing which acts as protection and a sound
shield. It can be removed by pulling four latches located
on the four sides of the housing.
MAINTENANCE:
Your operations manual will have a complete mainte-
nance schedule that will need to be followed to keep
your generator in peak operating condition. Inspect the
parts often and perform required service at the prescribed
intervals. Maintenance work must be performed by
appropriatly skilled and suitably trained maintenance
personnel familiar with generator set operation and ser-
vice.
