CAUTION:
Failure to use a siphon-break when the external
shock absorbers are located at or below the
waterline will result in raw water damage to the
engine and possible flooding of the boat.
If you have any doubt about the position of the external shock absorbers relative to the vessel’s various operating conditions
or when the vessel is not under way, install a siphon break. This precaution is necessary to protect your engine.
The siphon-break must be installed in the high point of a hose that is looped a minimum of 50 cm above the vessel’s
waterline. This siphon-break must always be above the waterline during all angles of vessel operation to prevent siphoning
from occurring. V.T.E. has provided two siphon-break hoses (these are tagged). The hose (27 mm diameter) to the siphon-
break connects to the raw water line at the raw water pump outlet. The hose (27 mm diameter) from the siphon-break
attaches to the oil cooler inlet. If not ordered and included in the generator supply, the owner must furnish the siphon-break,
and any additional lengths of hose that may be required.
NOTE: A siphon-break requires periodic inspections and cleaning to ensure proper operation. Failure to properly maintain a
siphon-break can result in severe engine damage. Consult the siphon-break manufacturer for a proper maintenance
schedule.
Raw water intake
A flush-type thru-hull fitting is recommended for the raw water intake. It should be located on the boat's hull where it will be
below the waterline during all angles of the boat's operation.
NOTE: the sea water intake is usually designed asymmetrically, so that depending from the fitting direction can cause, when
the boat is sailing, pressure or vacuum in the water circuit connected. For a generator the water intake must be fitted
into the direction causing vacuum, because on the contrary a self water entrance can be caused when the boat is
sailing and the generator is not running, flooding the exhaust line with water that finally reaches the engine oil sump
causing severe damages to the engine.
STARTING BATTERY CONNECTION
The PAGURO generator is negative grounded. For electric starting install a 12V battery of 90Ah. Connect the positive (+)
battery cable to the starter solenoid where is already fitted a thin red cable and the negative (-) cable to the engine ground
stud (one of the 2 studs located on the starter where is already foreseen a metallic loop)
Please refer to the electrical scheme of this manual.
The generator's battery charger will charge its starting battery only (8A max)
