GENERATOR SET
The following procedure summarizes the operation of, and safety precautions for, the optional marine
generator available for your boat. Before operating your generator, read the owner's manual which
accompanies your generator.
Prestart
1. Check that the air cleaner is clean and properly installed.
2. Check the battery connections and electrolyte level (if battery has filler caps).
3. Check that the fuel tanks are full and that the fuel system is primed for operation.
4. Check that the oil level is at or near FULL mark.
Hot coolant can cause severe burns. Do not remove the pressure cap when engine is hot.
4. Check that coolant level in coolant recovery tank is between the MIN and MAX marks. Periodically
remove the pressure cap and check on the fluid level
when engine is cool
. Do not rely solely on
level in the coolant recovery tank.
5. For initial startup only, prime the seawater pump by closing seacock, removing hose from water filter
outlet, filling hose and pump with clean water, replacing hose and opening seacock.
Failure to have seacock open when generator is running will result in serious engine
damage due to overheating.
6. Check that generator seacock is open.
7. Check that marine ship-to-shore transfer switch is in the proper position and that all breakers are in
the OFF position.
8. Open the manual fuel shut-off valve (if equipped).
