the MAIN GENERATOR breaker is OFF and there
is no load on the generator before starting it.
• Start the generator by following the generator start-
up procedures in your generator owner’s manual.

main distribution panel should be OFF.
• Move the source selector to expose the GEN-
ERATOR breaker and turn the breaker on.

Shore Power (International)
The 220 volt main distribution panel distributes the
required voltage for all of the boat’s AC equipment
and accessories. You should understand the origi-
nation of the power and that it is distributed to the
LINE1 and LINE 2 equipment and accessories.
Your 420 Premiere is equipped with 200 volt AC
service. There are two (2) shore power cables and
both are for 220 volt AC power.
You will see a LINE 1 and LINE 2 side for equipment
and accessories on the AC main distribution panel
(AC MDP).
1. Ensure that the LINE 1 MAIN shore power
breaker and all LINE 1 AC branch breakers on
the main AC distribution panel are OFF.
2. Move the shore power LINE 1 cord to the dock-
side power box. Make sure that the dockside
breaker is OFF, and then plug the dockside cord
into the shore power outlet box on the dock. Turn
the circuit breaker on the dock to the ON position.
3. Inspect the LINE 1 polarity lights on the main
distribution panel. The POWER lights should be
on. If the REVERSED lights are on, have the
dockmaster inspect the dockside power for a
reversed connection.
4. Slide the upper source selector to the left to
expose the two (2) breakers marked SHORE. By
pushing the two (2) breakers up, you will supply
220 volts of AC power through the AC MDP to
only the LINE 1 side.
To supply power to the LINE 2 side of the AC MDP,
repeat the above steps one through four.
Note: Be aware that each shore power cord will
only feed its respective loads on the panel.
To Use The Generator (International)
1. Start the generator by following the generator
startup procedures in your generator owner’s
manual.
2. After the generator is started, slide the upper
source selector to the right to expose the two (2)
breakers marked GENERATOR and push the
two (2) breakers up to energize LINE 1.
3. To energize LINE 2, repeat above steps on the
LINE 2 side.
