10. A spring-loaded generator STOP/START switch is located on the DC
Control Center. Push the switch to the “START” position and hold it
there until the generator starts. Release the switch when the gen-
erator starts.
If the generator does not start within 10 seconds, release the STOP/
START switch, wait 1 minute, then try to start the generator again.
11. When the generator is running smoothly, switch the Shore #1 and/or
Shore #2 Main circuit breaker(s) on the AC Control Center “ON.”
Power is now available to the other AC circuit breakers on that line.
12. To turn the generator “OFF,” push the STOP/START switch to the
“STOP” position. If you do not intend to use the generator again for
at least a few days, turn the generator battery master disconnect
switch to the “OFF” position.
Do not inhale generator exhaust. Generator exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas. Refer to “1.6 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Warn-
ings” for more information on engine exhaust and carbon monoxide.
3.3 Operating AC Equipment
Power to your boat’s AC equipment is controlled by circuit breakers and,
in most cases, individual controls for each component.
Your boat contains two AC circuit breaker panel:
• AC Main Circuit Breaker Groups
• AC Control Center.
The circuit breakers on the AC Control Center enable you to control the
electricity to either the equipment itself or to the equipments’ controls
by switching the breakers “ON” or “OFF.” They also protect the electrical
system by automatically disconnecting the circuit from the power source
in the event of a short or overload. Power is supplied to the AC Control
Center by either a shore power source or the generator.
Never reset a breaker that has automatically tripped without first correct-
ing the problem. Failure to follow this procedure may create a dangerous
situation.
NOTE: Sometimes a circuit breaker location is labeled but no circuit
breaker is present. In this case, the component named on the label is an
option that is not installed on your boat.
