Corrosion on the electrical connectors
can cause poor connections, shorts and
ground faults, and/or poor ground connec-
tions. Check at least annually and clean as
required. DO NOT allow corrosion to build on
connections.
Inspect all terminals and make sure they are
tight.
Have the entire AC circuitry tested every
season by an experienced marine electri-
cian, especially the shore power cord. This
will detect any shorts, open wires or ground
faults. Also, have the polarity indicator system
inspected for proper operation.
Test outlets periodically by pressing the test/
reset buttons in the center of the face plate to
ensure proper operation.
The engine maintenance required on the
generator is similar to the main engines. The
most important factors to the generator’s lon-
gevity are proper ventilation, maintenance of
the fuel, ignition, cooling and lubrication sys-
tems, and the AC alternator.
Maintenance schedules and procedures are
outlined in your generator owner’s manual,
follow them exactly.
