General warning and caution on generator use
•
Read carefully the generator use and maintenance manual delivered separately
and, if you have any doubt, contact the builder’s assistance.
•
Do not start or stop the generator when any switch is connected.
•
The flashing yellow LED, while the generator is off, indicates that the fuel supply
valve has been left open. We recommend you to always reset by pressing the STOP
button.
•
The flashing yellow LED, while the generator is working
, indicates that the battery
charger protection has intervened.
Do not use the generator in that condition
. To
restore the normal functioning, after the generator unit stopping, press the button on the
grey wiring box located above the generator (inside its case).
•
Check the oil level of the generator engine before starting it, especially after long periods of
inactivity.
•
Make sure that there are no leaks in the various systems: cooling water, fuel, engine oil and
engine exhaust pipes.
•
Do not keep the generator working when the side inclination angle of the yacht is more than
18 - 20° degrees.
•
Check periodically the cooling water pump: if it leaks even slightly, immediately intervene.
•
Check periodically the fuel filter condition (read the instructions in the relevant booklet
delivered separately).
•
Clean frequently the generator engine cooling water filter.
•
Do not disconnect the battery terminals while the generator is working.
•
The generator engine sucks up air from the peak where it is installed, for its functioning.
•
Never reach the generator while it is working.
Maintenance
•
Check frequently the level of the engine oil and change it as indicated in the
manufacturer’s instructions manual.
•
Change the fuel filter cartridge as indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions manual.
