Do not operate the generator when its cooling system seacock is closed.
Operating the generator in this manner can damage it.
5. Open the cooling system’s seacock.
6. Turn the “House” battery master disconnect switch to the “ON” posi-
tion.
7. On the Safety Breaker Panel, switch the Main - One circuit breaker
“ON.”
8. On the DC Control Center, switch the Systems DC Main circuit breaker
“ON,” then switch the four Bilge Blower circuit breakers “ON.”
9. Turn the bilge blowers “ON” using the Bilge Blower switch on the DC
Control Center.
Make sure the bilge blowers are operating properly by feeling for air
being blown from the bilge vents. These vents are located on either side
of the boat just aft of the salon windows.
Operate the blowers for at least 4 minutes and until the engine room is
free of any fuel vapor before starting the generator. Continue operating
the blowers while the generator is running.
