The generator may be started from the engine batteries unless your
yacht is equipped with a separate battery for the generator only.
To start the generator, hold generator switch in the START position
until you hear the generator has started, then release switch. The
switch will automatically return to the RUN position and AC power is
applied to the load center or centers selected.
Turn the generator OFF by placing the generator switch in the STOP
position.
The power transfer slide protector prevents accidental use of shore
power and generator power at the same time. Slide protector
positioning is discussed under OPERATION OF AC SYSTEMS.
OPERATION OF AC SYSTEMS
Connecting Shore Power Cable:
1. Make sure the shore dockside breaker, the yacht main dockside
breaker and the yacht AC/DC panel DOCKSIDE breakers are in
the OFF position.
2. Connect the shore power cable to the yacht receptacle and then
connect the shore power cable to the dockside power source.
3. Be sure the DC MAIN circuit breaker is OFF and any 120V AC or
240V AC accessories that should not receive power immediately
are switched OFF. If the indicator lights are normal, then the
DOCKSIDE 240/120V AC circuit breaker may be switched on. AC
and DC circuit breakers may then be switched ON as needed.
4. Switch the shore dockside breaker to the ON position. Switch the
yacht dockside power breaker to the ON position. Then check the
AC/DC panel POWER SOURCE AVAILABLE indicator lights. The
120V AC LINE 1, V AC DOCKSIDE and 120V AC LINE 2 indicator
lights should be ON. The REVERSED POLARITY light should be
OFF.
Disconnecting Shore Dockside Power:
Switch the yacht DOCKSIDE 240/120V AC circuit breaker OFF.
Switch the yacht dockside power circuit breaker OFF. Switch the
shore dockside power circuit breaker OFF. Then, the dockside power
cable may be disconnected.
CAUTION
DO NOT turn the DOCKSIDE 240/120V AC breaker on if
the REVERSED POLARITY light is ON. Severe damage
to the electrical system could result. Disconnect the
cable and have the fault corrected by a qualified
electrician.
