ator exhaust system for leaks before each use.
• Use the bilge blowers for a minimum of four minutes before starting the generator.
• Leave the blowers on while the generator is running unless the boat is running at
cruising speed.
• Use of the blower system is not a guarantee that explosive fumes have been removed.
• If you smell any fuel, DO NOT start the generator.
• If the generator is already running, IMMEDIATELY shut off the generator and all
electrical accessories and investigate.
• DO NOT obstruct or modify the ventilation system.
