The generator controls are mounted on the DC
control panel. Both the generator Start/Stop and
Blower switches are located there.
The generator is used to provide AC power when
shore power is not available.
1. Make sure the generator seacock is open.
2. Turn OFF the shore power switch on the AC
control panel. Move the lock over to secure
the switch in place.
3. Turn OFF the generator power switch.
4. Turn ON the blower and operate it for at least
four minutes.
5. Push the START side of the generator’s
Start/Stop switch. Allow generator to operate
for at least one minute to stabilize voltage.
6. Turn ON the generator power switch.
7. Switch ON the respective branch breakers as
needed. In this configuration, all components
can be used with power supplied by the
generator up to a maximum of 30 amps.
8. Do not operate the generator in conjunction
with high speed operation of the boat. The
resulting reduction in water flow to the
generator could damage the unit’s water pump
impeller.
Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is colorless,
odorless and extremely dangerous. All
engines and fuel burning appliances
produce CO as exhaust. Direct and
prolonged exposure to CO will cause
BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH. Signs of
exposure to CO include nausea, dizziness
and drowsiness.
Stop the generator by pressing the STOP side of
the Start/Stop switch. Close the generator’s
seacock.
BATTERY CHARGER
Your Formula boat may be equipped with a
battery charger located in the engine
compartment. Anytime your boat is connected to
shore power or the generator is running and the
BATTERY CHARGER switch at the AC control
panel is ON, the battery charger will operate and
act to keep the batteries fully charged. Please
refer to the battery charger operator’s manual for
additional information.
