SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Thoroughly read the OPERATOR’S MANUAL

before operating the genset. Safe operation and

top performance can only be achieved when

equipment is properly operated and main-

tained.

Only trained and experienced service person-

nel with knowledge of fuels, electricity, and ma-

chinery hazards shall remove, dismantle and

dispose of the generator set. See service manu-

al.

Some generator set installation procedures

present hazards that can result in severe per-

sonal injury or death. Only trained and experi-

enced personnel with knowledge of fuels, elec-

tricity, and machinery hazards should perform

generator set installation procedures.

The following symbols in this manual alert you to

potential hazards to the operator, service person

and equipment.

DANGER

Used to alert you to a lethal hazard

against which you must take steps to prevent

severe personal injury or death, as when you

are in the vicinity of High Voltage equipment.

WARNING

Used to alert you to a hazard or un-

safe practice that can result in severe personal

injury or death.

CAUTION

Used to alert you to a hazard or un-

safe practice that can result in personal injury

or equipment damage.

Electricity, fuel, exhaust, moving parts and batter-

ies present hazards that can result in severe per-

sonal injury or death.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• Keep children away from the genset.

• Do not use evaporative starting fluids. They

are highly explosive.

• Do not step on the genset when entering or

leaving the generator room. Parts can bend or

break leading to electrical shorts or to fuel,

coolant or exhaust leaks.

• To prevent accidental or remote starting while

working on the genset, always disconnect the

negative (−) battery cable at the battery.

• Keep the genset, drip pan and compartment

clean. Oily rags can catch fire. Gear stowed in

the compartment can restrict cooling.

• Make sure all fasteners are secure and proper-

ly torqued.

• Do not work on the genset when mentally or

physically fatigued or after consuming alcohol

or drugs.

• Used engine oil has been identified by some

U. S. state and federal agencies as causing

cancer or reproductive toxicity. Do not ingest,

inhale, or contact used oil or its vapors.

• Ethylene glycol, used as engine antifreeze, is

toxic to humans and animals. Clean up spills

and dispose of used engine coolant in accor-

dance with local environmental regulations.

• Keep multi-purpose fire extinguishers handy.

Multi−purpose fire extingushers are used for

fires that involve ordinary combustible materi-

als such as wood and cloth; combustible and

flammable liquid fuels and gasous fuels; live

electrical equipment. (North Americal or US:

(ref. NFPA No. 10)

• Genset installation and operation must comply

with all applicable local, state and federal

codes and regulations.

• Generator sets with a sound shield shall not be

run with the service doors removed/missing.

• Engine components can be hot and cause se-

vere burns. Hot coolant under pressure can

spray and cause severe burns.

• Use personal protective equipment when

installting generator set such as gloves, safety

glasses, etc.

GENERATOR VOLTAGE IS DEADLY

• Generator electrical output connections must

be made by a trained and experienced electri-

cian in accordance with applicable codes.

WARNING

Interconnecting the generator set

and shore power can lead to electrocution of

utility line workers, equipment damage and fire.

Use an approved switching device to prevent

interconnections.

• Use caution when working on live electrical

equipment. Remove jewelry, make sure cloth-

ing and shoes are dry, stand on a dry wooden

platform or rubber insulating mat and use tools

with insulated handles.

ENGINE EXHAUST IS DEADLY

• Never sleep in the boat while the genset is run-

ning unless the boat is equipped with properly

working carbon monoxide detectors.

• The exhaust system must be installed in accor-

dance with the genset Installation Manual and

be free of leaks.

• Make sure the bilge is adequately ventilated

with a power exhauster.

• Inspect for exhaust leaks at every startup and

after every eight hours of operation.

• For more information about carbon monoxide

poisoning see the American Boat and Yacht

Council (ABYC) publication TH-22—Educa-

tional Information About Carbon Monoxide.

DIESEL FUEL IS COMBUSTIBLE

• Do not smoke or turn electrical switches ON or

OFF where fuel fumes are present or in areas

sharing ventilation with fuel tanks or equip-

ment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, arc-

producing equipment and all other sources of

ignition well away.

• Fuel lines must be secured, free of leaks and

separated or shielded from electrical wiring.

BATTERY GAS IS EXPLOSIVE

• Wear splash−proof safety glasses.

• Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks to oc-

cur near the battery at any time.

• To reduce arcing when disconnecting or recon-

necting battery cables, always disconnect the

negative (−) battery cable first and reconnect

it last.

MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE

PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry near

moving parts such as PTO shafts, fans, belts

and pulleys.

• Keep hands away from moving parts.

• Keep guards in place over fans, belts, pulleys,

and other moving parts.

FLAMMABLE VAPOR CAN CAUSE A

DIESEL ENGINE TO OVERSPEED

WARNING

Do not operate a diesel-powered

genset where a flammable vapor environment

can be created by fuel spill, leak, etc. The own-

ers and operators of the genset are solely re-

sponsible for safely operating the genset.

Flammable vapor can cause a diesel engine to

overspeed and become difficult to stop, possibly re-

sulting in fire, explosion, severe personal injury or

death.

THE HAZARDS OF CARBON MONOXIDE

Engine−driven generators can produce harmful

levels of carbon monoxide that can injure or kill you.

The nature of boating is such that you can be

harmed by the poisonous gas despite good gener-

ator set maintenance and proper ventilation.

ONLY YOU CAN PROTECT YOURSELF

FROM CO POISONING!

• Watch constantly for swimmers when the gen-

erator set is running.

• Make sure exhaust cannot get under the deck,

between hulls or enter the living quarters

through a windown, vent or door.

• Make sure all CO detectors and audible alarms

are working properly.

• Pay attention to the signs of CO poisoning.

• Check the exhaust system for corrosion, ob-

struction and leaks each time you start the

generator set and every eight hours if you run

it continuously.

SUBSTANCE HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH

Generator sets use substances, and emit and

create wastes that can cause health risks. Genera-

tor set operators must use appropriate personal

protective equipment (such as clothing, gloves,

protective glasses/goggles, and respiration equip-

ment) when exposed to fuel, oil, coolant, wet batter-

ies, grease, cleaning agents, or other substances

exposed to lungs, eyes, or skin. use appropriate

containers for transport, storage, and disposal of

waste substances. Follow local regulations for dis-

posal and recycling.

GAS OIL

This product is also known as Red Diesel, Fuel Oil,

and type A1 or A2. It can be pale red or a clear liquid

with a characteristic mild odour. It contains catalyti-

cally cracked oil, petroleum distillates, quinizarin,

and gas oil maker dye red. The catalytically cracked

oil and petroleum distillates are potentially hazard-

ous constituents.

The substance has an initial boiling point of 180°C,

a flash point greater than 56°C, and a vapour pres-

sure less than 0.7mm Hg at 20°C and has negligible

solubility in water.

It is used as a fuel for off−road diesel powered ve-

hicles and stationary engines, and can be found in

fuel tanks, pipes and injection systems. The sub-

stance should not be used for any other purpose

without contacting the manufacturer or supplier. In-

stallers, operators and maintainers are likely to en-

counter this substance.

HAZARDOUS REACTIONS

This liquid is flammable. Avoid smoking, heat

sources, such as welding and naked flames,

sparks and static electricity build−up. Thermal de-

composition products are hazardous, containing

, NO

and SO

compounds.

The vapour is explosive. High vapour concentra-

tions can cause respiratory irritation, dizziness,

nausea, and loss of consciousness. Excessive and

prolonged exposure to the mist can cause chronic

inflammatory reaction of the lungs and form of pul-

monary fibrosis.

Avoid strong oxidising agents, e.g. chlorates which

may be use in agriculture.

Gas oil is slightly irritating to the skin and has a de−

fatting action. Toxicity following single exposure to

high level of gas oil is of low order. Prolonged, re-

peated skin contact may de−fat the skin resulting in

possible skin irritation and dermatitis. In some

cases warty, cancerous growths have occurred.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES

Ensure good ventilation and avoid heat sources.

Observance of good housekeeping rules will en-

sure general safety. Do not smoke. Avoid breathing

mist.

When working on, or testing, injection equipment,

special care is required to avoid perforation of skin

by high pressure fuel. Use eye protection in the

event of suspected high pressure leak.

Adopt a high standard of personal hygiene. In the

case of skin contact, wash well with soap and water.

Use glove and overalls, and eye protection goggles

if there is a risk of splashing. Use oil impervious

gloves and avoid contamination inside the gloves.

1. Introduction

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This is the Operator’s Manual for the generator sets

(gensets) listed on the front cover. Each operator

should study this manual carefully and observe all of

its instructions and safety precautions. Keep this

manual close at hand for reference.

WARNING

This genset is not a life support sys-

tem. It can stop without warning. Children, per-

sons with physical or mental limitations, and

pets could suffer personal injury or death. A per-

sonal attendant, redundant power or alarm sys-

tem must be used if genset operation is critical.

WARNING

This generator set is not “ignition

proteced” and shall not be used in flammable

vapor environment.

WARNING

This generator set shall not be the

main source of power for communication and

steering systems. It can stop without warning.

Operation, Periodic Maintenance and Trouble-

shooting provide the instructions necessary for op-

erating the genset and maintaining it at top perfor-

mance. The owner is responsible for performing

maintenance in accordance with the PERIODIC

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (p. 4-1). This manual

also includes genset specifications and information

regarding compliance with emissions regulations.

See the Parts Manual for part identification numbers

and required quantities. Genuine Onan® replace-

ment parts are recommended for best results.

WARNING

Within the Parts Manual, MC parts

are MACHINE CRITICAL and must comply with

boating safety ignition protection, backfire, fire

resistance, exhaust system integrity, or other

requirements established by regulatory agen-

cies, such as the US Coast Guard, ABYC, and

ISO. When MACHINE CRITICAL parts are re-

placed for any reason, use Onan parts that are

identified with the part numbers in the appropri-

ate Parts Manual.

MODEL IDENTIFICATION

Be ready to provide the genset model and serial

numbers on the nameplate when contacting Onan

for parts, service and product information. Fig-

ure 1−1 illustrates the nameplate and its location on

the side of the control box. Every character in these

numbers is significant. (The last character of the

model number is the specification letter, which is im-

portant for obtaining the right parts.) Record the

genset model and serial numbers on the lines desig-

nated in the figure so that they are easy to find when

you need them.

NOISE

Generator sets emit noise. As noise level and time

of exposure increase, risk of hearing damage in-

creases. The Specifications page n the Operator

manual states noise level for this generator set. Se-

lect and use personal hearing protection appropri-

ate for your exposure to generator set noise.

Note for use in countries where compliance to the

EU Noise directive is required: This generator set

has not been evaluated and is not marked for use in

open air. Install the generator set in accordance with

the Installation manual. Obey local noise restric-

tions when you operate the generator set.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

Generator sets emit and receive electromagnetic

(radio frequency) energy. If the generator set affects

operation of nearby devices, or nearby devices af-

fect generator set operation, increase the distance

between them.

Note for use in countries where compliance to the

EMC directive is required: This generator set has

been evaluated for use in residential, commercial,

and light industrial environments.

2. Genset Control Panel

LOCAL CONTROL PANEL

The genset control panel either has an Digital Dis-

play or a control switch with status lamps. A genset

equipped for operation in parallel with other gensets

may have a single/parallel operation selector

switch. It may also have a manual voltage regulator.

If the genset has a housing, remove the front panel

for access to the selector switches and manual volt-

age adjusting knob. See Figure 2-1.

EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH

This is a 20 amp circuit breaker that protects the

genset control circuits from shorts to ground. Push

the red handle down to stop the genset.

CONTROL SWITCH

Control Switch: This switch is used to start and

stop the genset and prime fuel (if the genset is

equipped with an auxiliary electric fuel pump).

• Push and Hold START until the genset starts

(green lamp comes on).

• Push and Release STOP (Prime) to stop the

genset.

• Push and Hold STOP (Prime) to prime the fuel

system (amber lamp comes on in 2 seconds to

indicate priming).

Status Lamps: The control switch has two status

lamps. The amber status lamp comes on during

priming, blinks rapidly during cranking and goes out

when the engine is up to speed. If the genset shuts

down abnormally, this lamp will slowly blink a nu-

merical code to indicate the cause of shutdown. See

Section 5. Troubleshooting. The green status lamp

comes on to indicate that the genset is running.
