Electrical System
check the exhaust port for water flow each time
the generator is started. If there is no discharge
within thirty seconds, shut down the generator
and find and correct the problem.
Refer to the Raw Water Systems Maintenance
section in the Raw Water System Chapter of this
manual for instructions on cleaning the generator
sea strainer.
Notice
The generator may not be able to operate
all 120 volt accessories at the same time.
POWER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES may need
to be observed depending on the AC power
load.
Notice:
Generators consume DC electrical current
and charge the House batteries just enough
to compensate for the DC electrical current
the engine requires to operate. Therefore, it
is important to activate the battery chargers
to maintain the House and Engine batteries
whenever the generator is running.
The generator diesel fuel system is different than
the fuel system for the main engines. Refer to
the Fuel System chapter for more information on
generator fuel system.
You also should read the generator owner’s manual
for detailed information on the safe operation and
maintenance of the generator.
