This manual describes the different modes of operating of the H240 hydrogenerator. It is 
consecutive to its installation on the sailboat. See the relative booklet. 

The use of the hydrogenerator must follow the 

limits and conditions for using 

described 

in the relative booklet. 

The different parts are listed and described on the diagram on page 4 of the 

installation 

guide

Handling and management of the hydrogenerator 

 

1.1

 

Placing in the home plate 

Place the H240 in front up of the home plate.  

Slide the hydrogenerator in the home plate by pulling the white rope in order to 
release the guard locking pin. 

Check that the guard locking pin is well fitted into the home plate.  

 

 

 

 

Place the H240 in the home plate
