NOTICE
detailed information on the operating status of the generator. Refer to the
generator owner's manual for complete explanation on the operation and
interpretation of the displayed data.
Because of the number of DC systems on this boat that can be in
operation, a significant drain on the batteries can occur. Depending on
the RPM and the duration of operation of the engines, the engines'
charging systems may not be able to keep up with the DC electrical
demand particularly when the engines are run at low RPM for extended
periods. To ensure that the batteries remain at peak charge, Pursuit
strongly recommends that the generator be run whenever the boat is in
use and not connected to shore power. It is important to activate the
house battery charger to maintain the house, electronics and bow thruster
batteries whenever the generator is running.
The generator is located in an enclosure in the aft bilge. The generator
compartment is equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher system and an automatic engine shutdown
system. Refer to the Safety Equipment chapter.
FUEL INJECTED GENERATORS REQUIRE BLEEDING OF AIR FROM THE FUEL DE-
LIVERY SYSTEM PRIOR TO INITIAL START-UP. BLEEDING OF THE FUEL SYS-
TEM 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 COM-
PLETED BY YOUR SERVICING DEALER.
AC POWER SELECTOR SWITCH
The main breakers in the AC Main Distribution 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 determine that the operating voltage and hertz have
stabilized. Then turn the breaker to the "ON" position.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE GENERATOR WITH THE SELECTOR SWITCH
IN THE "GENERATOR" POSITION. WAIT UNTIL THE GENERATOR HAS WARMED
UP BEFORE TRANSFERRING THE ELECTRICAL LOAD. ONCE THE GENERATOR
HAS RUN FOR THREE OR FOUR MINUTES, PLACE THE SWITCH IN THE "GENERA-
TOR" POSITION.
CERTAIN BULKHEAD AREAS ARE SEALED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. COAST
GUARD REGULATIONS THAT WERE IN EFFECT AT THE DATE OF MANUFAC-
TURE OF THE BOAT. ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THESE BULKHEADS SHOULD BE
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD REGULATIONS.
