I
f
y
ou opted to have the
g
enerator installed, then
y
ou
have made a
g
ood choice. We suppl
y
y
ou with the best
all around
g
enerator setup for
y
our needs aboard this
boat. However, the
g
enerator is a diesel powered en
g
ine,
so there are some safet
y
concerns about an
y
t
y
pe of fuel
e
n
g
ine. Lets look at some of those, then we will discuss
more about the
f
unction and operation o

.
DANGER
! !
Fuel leakin
g
from an
y
part of the fuel s
y
stem can
l
ead to fire and explosion that can cause serious
b
odil

DA NG ER
! !
Never enter the en
