IS 6.1 3 INSTALLATION The generator m ay only be installed by qualified technicians. Malfuncti oning due to im proper installation may cause injury or death. 3.1 G ENERA TOR HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS - The generator must be installed in a sufficiently ventilated room able to assure the small amount of air required for engine combustion.
IS 6.1 3.5 C OOLING WATER CIRCUIT The generator engine is cooled by an open-circuit system in which seawater circulates. At the time of installation, a seawater feed circuit must be arranged for cooling, and an exhaust system for the combustion gas and water mixture.
IS 6.1 3.5.2 C OMPONENTS If the generator is installed at a height over 1m (3,3ft) above the waterline, a check valve (ref.2) must be fitted after the seawater intake to prevent the water circuit from emptying out when the engine is off. If the circuit is empty, the water pump impeller may be damaged during starting.

IS 6.1 3.5.4 E XHAUST SYSTEM The generator combustion “gas/water exhaust” system Muffler must be independent of that of the main engines. See installation diagrams. The pipe length from the highest point of the exhaust pipe to the exhaust must not exceed 2m (6.6...
IS 6.1 3.6 F IRCUIT The generator is diesel-powered by means of the unions marked "DIESEL FUEL INLET" (rif.1) e "DIESEL FUEL OUTLET" (rif.2); the latter serves to return excess fuel. The fuel pipes must be in hydrocarbon-resistant rubber with an inside diameter of 8mm (0.31in).
IS 6.1 3.7 E LECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 3.7.1 B A TTERY CONNECTION Use a 12V stand-alone battery to start the generator. Connect it to the generator terminals using cables of 25mm cross-section for a distance up to 5m (16.4ft) cables of 35mm...
IS 6.1 The control panel must necessarily be installed as it is essential for generator operation. Do not use devices different from the control provided with the generator, since they may be incompatible with the generator. Make the connection with the battery detached.
IS 6.1 Feedback to utility. Feedback voltage may cause serious injury or death. Connect the generator to the electrical systemof the structure/boat only through an approved electrical system and after opening the main switch of the structure/boat.
