CAUTION: Use caution when working on live electrical equipment. Remove all jewelry, make
sure clothing and shoes are dry, stand on a dry wooden platform or rubber
insulating mat and use tools with insulated handles.
1.4 Engine Exhaust Is Deadly
· Properly working carbon monoxide detectors must be located in all living/sleeping areas of
the boat.
· Never sleep in the boat while the generator set is running unless the boat is equipped
with properly working marine carbon monoxide detectors.
· The exhaust system must be installed in accordance with the generator set Installation
manual and be free of leaks.
· Make sure the bilge is adequately ventilated with a power exhauster/blowers.
· Inspect for exhaust leaks every startup and after every eight hours of operation.
· For more information about carbon monoxide see American Boat and Yacht Council
(ABYC) publication TH-22—Educational Information About Carbon Monoxide.
2 A029Z105 (Issue 2)
2-2010 1. Safety Precautions
1.5 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 equipment. 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.
1.6 Battery Gas is Explosive

· 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 protective guards in place over fans, belts, pulleys, and other moving parts.
1.8 Flammable Vapor Can Cause A Diesel Engine To Overspeed
WARNING:
Do not operate a diesel-powered generator set where a flammable vapor environment can
be created by fuel spill, leak, etc.
Flammable vapor can cause a diesel engine to overspeed and become difficult to stop, resulting
in possible fire, explosion, severe personal injury and death. The owners and operators of the
generator set are solely responsible for operating the generator set safely.
1.9 The Hazards of Carbon Monoxide
WARNING: Engine-driven generators can produce harmful levels of carbon monoxide
that can injure or kill you.
1.9.1 What Is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless and non-irritating gas. You cannot
see it or smell it. Exposure, even to low levels of CO, for a prolonged period can lead to
asphyxiation (lack of Oxygen) resulting in death.
A029Z105 (Issue 2) 3
1. Safety Precautions 2-2010
Mild effects of CO poisoning include:
· eye irritation
· dizziness
· headaches
· fatigue
· the inability to think clearly
More extreme symptoms include:
· vomiting
· seizures
· collapse
1.9.2 What Are The Special Risks of CO on Boats?
CO may accumulate in the following locations:
· between hulls
· under an overhanging deck
· under a rear swimming platform
· in and around the boat
A swimmer or passengers on deck and in the living quarters can be exposed to lethal levels of
CO when the genset is running, especially when the boat is docked, beached or tied to a
neighboring boat.
The risk of exposure to CO can be multiplied greatly by the "station wagon" effect, obstructions
that block exhaust dissipation and infiltration from neighboring boats. To protect against all three
situations, install reliable and approved marine CO detector alarms on your boat.
WARNING: Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas can cause nausea, fainting or death.
· The Station Wagon Effect: A boat pushes aside the air through which it is moving,
causing a zone of low pressure in the back of the boat and cabins into which exhaust
gases can be drawn (see the Station Wagon Effect - Boat Exhaust figure). A breeze across
an anchored boat can have the same effect. Opening doors and windows so that air can
flow through the boat can reduce the effect.
4 A029Z105 (Issue 2)
2-2010 1. Safety Precautions
FIGURE 1. STATION WAGON EFFECT - BOAT EXHAUST
· Obstructions: Anchoring near a large object such as a boat house or sea wall or in a
confined space such as a canyon can cause exhaust gases to accumulate in and around
the boat despite good generator set maintenance and proper ventilation. Don't run the
generator set when anchored in such places.
· Exhaust from Neighboring Boats: When boats are anchored in close quarters exhaust
from neighboring boats can accumulate in and around yours.
1.9.3 Only You Can Protect Yourself From CO Poisoning!
· Watch constantly for swimmers when the generator set is running.
· Make sure exhaust cannot get under the deck, between hulls or enter the living quarters
through a window, vent or door.
· Make sure all CO detectors are working properly.
· Pay attention to the signs of CO poisoning.
· Check the exhaust system for corrosion, obstruction and leaks each time you start the
generator set and every eight hours if you run it continuously.
