Nanni Diesel generator sets are the product of many
years of experience in the development of marine en-
gines and equipment designed for use in open seas.
Before using, ensure you have the correct manual for
the set. We will explain how to identify the equipment
and its principal specifications in the chapters to follow.
If you don’t have the correct manual, please contact a
Nanni Diesel authorized dealer.
Carefully read all of this generator set instruction man-
ual before starting the engine. Pay particular attention
to the information on personal safety. This manual must
always be to hand where the generator set is used.
Check the overall condition of the generator set before
and after using it each time so that you familiarise with
the different components and can more easily detect
any fuel, oil or coolant leaks or abnormal wearing of the
principal parts.
All the information and specifications in this manual are
based on the technical data applicable at the time of
its publication. Changes and updates may be made by
Nanni Diesel without notice.
Certain images, diagrams or equipment described in
this manual may not exactly represent (or be part of)
the generator set order.
Fuel supply
Ensure that the fuel contains no residues. If it does, use
special filters.Avoid using fuel mixed with water or other
substances as you may damage the engine.
The engine performances are influenced by the fuel
temperature, the temperature and relative humidity of
the exhaust air and by the altitude.
Environmental responsibility
Nanni Diesel designs its engines to have minimum en-
vironmental impact and a maximum service life. This
objective, however, can only be achieved with the full co-
operation of the user. Our operating and maintenance in-
structions are to help you to protect the generator set and
adopt responsible behaviour vis-to-vis the environment.
Ensure you only use the fuels and oils recommended
in this manual. Using another type of fuel or oil could
cause major generator malfunctions: higher consump-
tion, reduced engine service life, greater discharge of
exhaust gases.
When draining the oil and changing the oil or fuel fil-
ter, dispose of the waste in the appropriate container.
These fluids cause major damage to flora and fauna if
discharged into nature.
The different fluids used to run the engine are a health
hazard. Carefully read the instructions on the packaging
of these products and always check that the ventilation
in the storage compartment is adequate.
Certified engines
The engine type can be exhaust emission certified. It
means that Nanni Diesel guarantees that all engines of
the same type that are manufactured are approved and
certified by the authorities.
However, special requirements for maintenance and
service are to be followed:
• Only Nanni Diesel replacement parts must be used.
• Maintenance intervals must be observed.
• The engine must not be modified in any way.
• Service of the fuel system must always be carried
out by an authorized Nanni Diesel workshop.
• No modifications to the air intake and exhaust sys-
tem may be undertaken.

Nanni Diesel’s responsibility for the engine specification
being in accordance with the certification will be invali-
date if one or several of this conditions are not followed.
