5. Press the generator “Start/Stop” button on the generator control panel. The engine will
start after the automatic pre-glow phase.
6. Switch the generator transfer switch on and confirm the correct voltage is being supplied
from the generator using the volt meter on the AC panel.
7. Switch on desired loads.
Stopping the Generator
1. Switch off all loads and the generator transfer switch. Stabilize the generator
temperature by running for five minutes without load.
2. Press the generator “Start/Stop” button on the generator control panel.
3. Close the generator seacock.
C A U T I O N
Do not leave the generator seacock open while the boat is in motion and the generator is off.
You can use the generator while the boat is moving. However, when the generator is shut down
the intake seacock should be closed immediately. If the seacock remains open, excessive
seawater may be forced into the generator cooling system causing water to back up into the
exhaust manifold.
4. Close the shut-off valve on the diesel fuel tank.
W A R N I N G
Never turn the battery select switch to the “off” position with an engine (including generator)
running as this could damage the engine charging system or the diesel generator control
panel.
Blower
A blower is included to provide ventilation to the generator engine compartment and should
run at least 4 minutes before starting the generator. Using the blower does not take the place of
checking the engine compartment by sight and smell for gasoline vapors. The blower is located in
the aft rigging compartment and can be accessed through the aft rigging lid.
Grill
The grill operates on AC current only, and therefore the shore power must be connected or the
generator must be on in order to use the grill. Once AC power is available, turn the “Grill” switch on
the AC panel to the “on” position to supply power to the grill. To heat the grill, press the “ON/ OFF”
button on the grill and set to the desired temperature. Refer to the grill owner’s manual in your
Owner’s Packet for specific instructions on the safe and proper use of the grill.
