    These are the minimum clearances required to provide adequate ventilation. NOTE: Engine combustion air enters the generator’s enclosure through holes in the base of the enclosure. This area must be kept clear of obstructions to help insure air entry. PAGURO 12500...
  • Page 13: Location And Mountings

    This must be done in an installation where the fuel tank is located below the engine's fuel system. This precaution insures against hard starting due to air displacing fuel siphoning out of the engine's fuel system through the return line when the generator is shut down. PAGURO 12500...
  • Page 14: Exhaust System

    Water-exhaust separator: it is possible to reduce the noise of the exhaust line installing a water-exhaust separator as per the following images. In this case, the exhaust gas output is separated from the water output, so that the typical plash of the water (of the traditional exhaust lines) is eliminated. PAGURO 12500...

    If the START button is pushed by mistake while the engine is running, an electrical safety protects the starter motor by preventing its solenoid from energizing. For passing through small holes the remote control panel cable, the disconnection must be made panel side, opening the back cover, and not plug side, that is welded. PAGURO 12500...
  • Page 28: Volt Dc Control Circuit

    If not, there is a problem in the service battery charging circuit by checking the wiring and connections, the solenoid, isolator, battery switch, and the battery itself. A 5 amp fuse located in the control box protects the battery charging circuits. No panel lights means a blown fuse. PAGURO 12500...
