NOTICE
Hardware damage. The engine and
generator set may use both American
Standard and metric hardware. Use
the correct size tools to prevent
rounding of the bolt heads and nuts.
NOTICE
When replacing hardware, do not
substitute with inferior
hardware. Screws and nuts are
available in different hardness ratings.
To indicate hardness,
Standard hardware uses a series of
markings, and metric hardware uses a
numeric system. Check the markings
on the bolt heads and nuts for
identification.
NOTICE
Fuse replacement. Replace fuses
with fuses of the same ampere rating
and type (for example: 3AB or 314,
ceramic). Do not substitute clear
glass-type fuses for ceramic fuses.
Refer to the wiring diagram when the
ampere rating is unknown
questionable.
NOTICE
Saltwater damage. Saltwater quickly
deteriorates metals. Wipe up saltwater
on and around the generator set and
remove salt deposits from metal
