Changing Element
The element needs to be changed periodically. Signs of
necessary element replacement may be power loss, hard
starting or large levels of contaminants/water in the
element bowl when drained.
To replace the element fi rst remove the old one by turning
by hand in a counterclockwise direction. Be sure to have
a pan in place to catch any dripping fuel. Coat the new
element and O ring with clean oil and then thread the
element clockwise by hand until snug. Do not use any
tools.
Start the engine and check for fuel or air leaks.

Note the illustrations showing the remote instrument and
start panel. As part of the generator electrical system an
8 amp fuse protects the remote instrument panel wiring
circuit. See illustration B.
Above the fuse is a switch. This switch must be in the
“run” position or the generator will not start. The emer-
gency stop switch shuts the fuel off to both the remote
and ship’s main control panel and is normally for mainte-
nance purposes. See illustration B.
A 20 amp DC manual reset breaker protects excessive cur-
rent draw or electrical overload anywhere in the generator
engine wiring. Should this breaker trip the generator will
shut down. Reset the breaker only after the cause of the
problem has been determined. See illustration A.
An AC breaker will automatically disconnect any genera-
tor AC power from reaching the main ship’s control panel
in case of an electrical overload. It can be manually shut
off when performing generator maintenance to ensure
no AC power is coming out of the generator. See illustra-
tion A.
