Introduction
PRESENTATION
Dear Customer,
First of all, we would like to thank you for choosing a Solé Diesel product. We recommend that
you read this manual carefully before carrying out any of the operations and keep it close at hand, near
the genset, as it can be of great use in the future.
Our goal as a manufacturing company is that you enjoy our product, regardless of the use you
make of it. The equipment manufactured in Solé Diesel facilities is designed to offer the highest
performance in the most demanding operating conditions and
achieve a diesel unit with the power
usually supplied in a small flat, in a compact size and light weight. So there is not the need to waste a
large room in your boat, and even if the chosen place is away from the center line of the boat, the
reduced weight of the 4 GSCH
will not influence the stability.
NOTICE
The images, text and information contained in this manual are based on the product’s features at the time
of publication. Solé Diesel reserves the right to modify this document without prior notice.
