11.5 OTHER NATURE RISKS OR RESIDUAL RISKS
11.5.1 Risk of fire
The generator uses diesel fuel and engine oil, which can cause fire if it comes into contact with parts that are
generating or subjected to extreme temperatures. The safety of the generator against fire is intricately linked
to maintenance operations and to the observance of the timing. In the event of a fire, switch off using suitable
fire extinguishers.
With the generator in operation it is absolutely forbidden stop the fire with water.
11.5.2 Risk of explosion
The generator uses diesel and batteries which, in the event of contact with open flames, could cause an
explosion.
The safety of the generator from explosions is intricately linked to the maintenance operations and to the
compliance with the procedures indicated in this manual (see chap. 9 “GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION”.
11.5.3 Dangers and risks from toxic exhaust gases
Although the exhaust gases of diesel engines are not as toxic as those of petrol engines, carbon monoxide is
also present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines. Some of the symptoms or signs of Carbon Monoxide
inhalation/poisoning are as follows:
- Vomiting; - Muscle spasms;
- Nausea; - Delayed movements;
- Dizziness; - Weakness and drowsiness;
- Migraine; - Inability to think correctly.
WARNING! If these symptoms occur, go out to the open air immediately. If symptoms persist, seek
medical attention. Switch off the generator and do not operate it again until it is inspected and repaired.
To prevent the risk of exhaust fumes, follow these guidelines:

Do not use copper pipes in the exhaust system. Diesel fumes can quickly destroy copper pipes in exhaust
systems.

Do not install the exhaust gas outlet near doors, portholes, or air conditioning. If the exhaust gas outlet is
near the waterline, the water in the exhaust line may block or restrict the flow of gases to the outside. Do
not overload the boat.
WARNING! In addition to regular exhaust line checks, install a Carbon Monoxide detector. Consult
your boat Manufacturer for detector selection.
11.5.4 Dangers and risk arising from parts subject to extreme temperatures
An endothermic engine can reach high temperatures, particularly in particularly hot environments.
Possible risks of burns and burns are considered negligible as during operation the generator is protected by
safety guards that prevent the body from coming into contact with parts subject to extreme temperatures.
