termined level. These breakers must be "ON" whenever
the boat is in the water.
NOTE: Because the bilge pumps are “hard-wired” to the
Safety Breaker Panel, they operate automatically regard-
less of the position of the battery selector switch or the
bilge pump breakers on the Bridge Breaker Panel. Peri-
odically test each float switch by lifting the float. The
pump should turn on when the float is lifted.
CO Detector
Always activate the CO detectors when the boat's
engines or generator are running. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. Refer to Section 1 of this Owner's Guide
for information on minimizing, detecting and control-
ling carbon monoxide accumulation.
Carver has installed several carbon monoxide (CO)
detectors on your boat for your safety. This breaker
must be "ON" for the CO detectors to operate.
The CO detectors monitor the air throughout the boat’s
cabin for the presence of carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that is present
in engine and generator exhaust fumes. Carbon monox-
ide is a very dangerous gas that is potentially lethal
when inhaled.
When your CO detectors are activated, they will alert
you to the presence of carbon monoxide in the cabin by
emitting a loud, high pitched sound. When you hear this
alarm, determine the cause and correct it immediately.
There is a test button on each CO detector. Test each
unit on a weekly basis. If you suspect that a CO detector
is faulty, have your dealer repair or replace it immedi-
ately. More information concerning carbon monoxide is
included in Section 1 of this Owner's Guide.
Windlass
This breaker protects the circuitry between the boat's
windlass and the batteries. This breaker must be "ON"
to operate the windlass controls at the helm and at the
bow of the boat. Refer to the OEM information for
details on operating the windlass.
