6. Generator
Patriche II is fitted with its own generator which will run the 110v outlets, the
air conditioning and will also charge the batteries in place of the engine. The
generator is located in the transom locker under the aft steps. The
generators are self regulating and therefore there are no daily checks to
perform.
To start the generator:
•
Make sure the 110v systems are off prior to starting the generator.
•
Ensure that you have switched from shore power to generator power.
•
Press the top switch down for 5 seconds. Whilst holding the top switch
down, pinch the bottom switch up. Hold them both until the generator
starts up and the psi reaches 58.
•
The generator should continue to run when you release the switches.
•
Allow the generator to warm up for 5 minutes and then gradually load up
the system, adding one load every 2 minutes.
Stopping the generator
•
Turn off all 110v systems
•
Push down quickly on the bottom of the switch and release.
•
The generator will close down.
Resetting the generator:
If the generator trips out check the reset breakers on the front panel of the
generator itself.
YOU MUST NOT RUN THE GENERATOR WHEN UNDERWAY
