Page 19: For A Correct Air Replacement
3.2.2. For a correct air replacement Around the 4GSCH have at least the shown tolerance; of course the ambient have to be naturally vented with more than one external connection. Fig. 10. Free space 3.2.3. For fixing the Genset on board A solid, level mounting platform is very important for the proper operation of your generator. -
Page 20: Fig. 12. Genset Views
Fig. 12. Genset views Fig. 13. Genset mounts If the vibration-dampening mounts furnished with the generator are not adequate to muffle vibration or resonance in an installation where the mounting surface is not ideal, then adding a plate between the generator and the boat's mounting platform is a possible solution. This will also improve the sound insulation. -

Page 22: Prestart Checklist
The internal diameter of the pipes has to be respected to avoid untightening and leakage, but the external diameter is important too, because the correct size avoids a noise way- out from the sound-proof capsule. 3.2.5. Prestart Checklist Follow these checks and inspections to ensure the correct genset operation. In addition, some checks require verification after unit starts. -

Page 35: Lubrication System
5.3. Lubrication System Oil forced-feed lubrication system with gear pump with no oil filter. OIL SPECIFICATIONS Use oil with 15W40 viscosity (this is an all-season oil for temperatures ranging between -15ºC and +40ºC) or select the most suitable oil viscosity for the atmospheric temperatures on which the genset is going to be operated. -
Page 36: Fig. 31. Exhaust System 1
Fig. 31. Exhaust System 1 IMPROVED SYSTEM: a further improvement in the noise dampening is achieved fitting instead of the third muffler the water separator. The cooling water is separately thrown from a separate hole flowing smoothly, avoiding the noise produced by the water coming alternatively spread from the exhaust pipe. -
Page 37: Cooling System
5.4. Cooling System Fig. 33. Cooling System NOTICE The unit can be installed below the sea level; in that case the safety cooling vacuum valve has to be fitted on a wall at generator side at least 50 cm above the external sea water line. On the hoods are foreseen two additional holes to be employed for the siphon break pipes. -
Page 38: Fig. 34. Cooling Intake
Fig. 34. Cooling intake Heat recovery system (on request) For heating the boat or producing warm water, using the waste heat of the engine cooling system, a pipe has to be connected according to the drawing. Fig. 35. Heat Recovery System The fiberglass capsule has not the two holes for the pipes, so it has to be drilled out according to board plant. -
Page 39: Fuel System
Fig. 36. Fuel System NOTICE The injection pump of the 4 GSCH is self-bleeding, it means that in case the engine shutoff for lack of fuel, after fuel tank filling up there is no need of disconnecting the pipes for bleeding, because this operation is simply obtained acting by hand on the lever of the feeding pump. -
Page 40: Electrical System
5.6. Electrical System The 4GSCH is negative grounded, and can be connected to the main board batteries 12 V or to a separate small battery 12 V of about 60 Ah; in this second case its internal charging device takes care of feeding the battery with 8 A. -

Page 45: Warnings
WARNINGS A great marine sets number of any type and manufacture, after first installation on board are flooded by sea water causing severe damages to the unit with high replacement or repairing costs, improperly laimed in warranty but gently refused, because it always depends from a critical installation, made ompromising some physical rules. -
Page 46: Sea Water Intake Installation
For avoiding the risk, the water intake entrance must be fitted facing the rear position and even so, in critical sailing conditions the internal valve must be closed when the generating set is not in operation. Sea Water Intake Installation Considering the water intake / safety valve / strainer and partially the seawater hose are fitted below the seawater line and inside them remains trapped seawater, must be considered the height between the seawater line and the water pump fitted on the generator that must be no more than 60... -
Page 47: Exhaust Line Installation
Exhaust Line Installation The exhaust line can contain too much water for length excess or negative gradient course that returns back into the engine when the set is shut off. The first water lock muffler is designed for avoiding that risk, but if fitted not enough lower than the engine manifold either reversing the entrance with the outlet, or of too reduced capacity for the return water volume that has to contain, can be unable avoiding the problem. - Page 48 When the installation is correctly planned and carried on, surveying the result during the first operative season, the generator on board give many troubles operative seasons, requiring lubricating oil and fuel filter replacement only, but there is another up keeping operation that prolong considerably the unit life.
