Section 4 Electrical System
OS 385
Fuel injected generators require bleeding of
air from the fuel delivery system prior to ini-
tial start-up. Bleeding of the fuel system will
also be required if the generator is allowed
to run out of fuel. Continued attempts to
start the generator without bleeding the fuel
system under these circumstances can lead
to engine damage or erratic operation. This
procedure must be completed by your ser-
vicing dealer.
AC Power Selector Switch
The main breakers in the AC Main Distribu-
tion Panel (AC MDP) are equipped with a
selector slide to prevent the shore power
source and the generator source from being
energized simultaneously and damaging the
electrical system components. Turn the
generator breaker to the “OFF” position
before starting the generator. After starting
the generator, monitor the display to deter-
mine that the operating voltage and hertz
have stabilized. Then turn the breaker to the
"ON" position.

Maintenance
At least semi-annually, spray all exposed
electrical components behind the helm and
in the plugs with a protector specific for elec-
trical connections. Exterior light fixture bulbs
should be removed and the metal contact
areas coated with a non-water soluble lubri-
cant like petroleum jelly or silicone grease.
The sockets should be sprayed with a pro-
tector. DO NOT get any oil or petroleum jelly
on the glass portion of the bulbs; this will
cause the bulb to overheat and burn out.
Make sure to check that all below deck wir-
ing is properly supported, the insulation is

NOTICE
DO NOT allow the generator to run out
of fuel. Fuel injected generators
require air to be removed from the fuel
delivery system before initial start-up
or if the generator is allowed to run
out of fuel. Continued attempts to
start generator with air in the fuel sys-
tem can lead to engine damage or
erratic operation. Air must be purged
by your servicing dealer only.
!
CAUTION
DO NOT start generator with selector
switch in the "GENERATOR" position.
Allow generator to warm-up three to
four minutes before transferring the
electrical load. After warm-up, place
switch in "GENERATOR" position.
!
CAUTION
Use exact replacement light bulb; a
different bulb can cause fixture to
overheat, melt or short circuit.
