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.
•
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).
•
Check frequently the generator engine cooling water filter condition and clean it when
necessary.
•
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 open the generator case while it is working.
Warning:
Should both the electric generator and the Eberspacher heating system be installed, the
first one and its battery are located in the port aft peak instead of the starboard one,
whereas all other components location does not change (see diagram at page 60).
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.
•
Check frequently the cleanliness of the cooling water filter, after previously closing the
through-hull valve of the relevant seacock.
We recommend you to consult and observe the directions in the use and maintenance
manual provided by the manufacturer and delivered separately.
