EXHAUST The exhaust must be fitted to the underside of the vehicle. The exhaust comes with a flexi pipe for easy installation. 2.10 Use a suitable exhaust sealing paste to mount the exhaust flange to the generator manifold. 2.11 It is advisable to use exhaust heat wrap between the exhaust flange and the flexi pipe.
WIRING DIAGRAM 2.17 Use copper wires 10mm or higher to connect to the vehicle battery. 2.18 Keep the distance from the battery to the generator as short as possible. 2.19 The generator on/off switch should be easy to access and near the remote LCM controller.
5. STOPPING PROCEDURE Switch off all loads and unplug then from the generator outlet sockets. NEVER start or stop the engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on. Let the engine idle with no load for several minutes. Press the Power OFF button on the remote LCM controller. Turn the main generator switch to the OFF position.
