Maintenance 

 

The materials used to manufacture the hydrogenerator are marine environment 
compliant. However, we recommend to rinse the hydrogenator with fresh water when not 
used for a long period.  

 

Algae deposition is possible on the immersed parts of the hydrogenerator.  A regular 
cleaning will maintain the system in good working conditions. We recommend using a 
cleaning product like “Clean Boat Polyvalent”. 

 

Check on a regular basis that the home plate, through-hull and hydrogenator support 
screws are correctly tightened. 

 

Check on a regular basis that the charge status of your battery is not too low, it would 
then not be able to communicate with the regulator. 

 

A storage and transportation bag is supplied with the hydrogenerator.
