attention if the condition of affected persons does not improve
within minutes of breathing fresh air.
Inspecting the exhaust system. Carbon monoxide can
cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. For the safety of
the craft's occupants, install a carbon monoxide detector.
Never operate the generator set without a functioning carbon
monoxide detector. Inspect the detector before each
generator set use.
Operating the generator set. Carbon monoxide can cause
severe nausea, fainting, or death. Be especially careful if
operating the generator set when moored or anchored under
calm conditions because gases may accumulate. If operating
the generator set dockside, moor the craft so that the exhaust
discharges on the lee side (the side sheltered from the wind).
Always be aware of others, making sure your exhaust is
directed away from other boats and buildings.

9.1 Controller Handling
The controller contains an electronic printed circuit
board (PCB) that is sensitive to a variety of elements and
can be damaged during
transportation, or storage. Observe the following when
working with the controller.
9.1.1 Handling

components. Aerosol spray cans are typically found
with computer supplies.
Never attempt component-level circuit repairs as this
