Stopping the Generator
1. Switch off all loads and the generator transfer switch. Stabilize the generator temperature by
running for five minutes without load.
2. Press the generator “RUN/STOP” button on the generator control panel.
3. Close the generator seacock.
4. Close the shut-off valve on the diesel fuel tank.
Blower
A blower is included to provide ventilation to the generator engine compartment and should
run at least 4 minutes before starting the generator. Using the blower does not take the place of
checking the engine compartment by sight and smell for gasoline vapors. The blower is located in
the aft rigging compartment and can be accessed through the aft rigging lid.
Carbon Monoxide Detector
Two carbon monoxide detectors are installed in the cabin to serve as a warning system for
exposure to poisonous carbon monoxide fumes. Carbon monoxide is a colorless odorless gas
produced in the exhaust of combustion engines. It can accumulate in amounts that may be
hazardous or fatal. This accumulation may occur very quickly in a boat with a defective exhaust
or one in which the exhaust is re-entering the boat due to wind currents, low pressure areas in the
cabin, or other means of air movement. A CO monitor provides an extra measure of safety, but it
does not replace the need to regularly check the entire generator exhaust system including the
exhaust manifold, hose and muffler condition, hose connection joint, etc. For proper operation
and maintenance, refer to the literature provided by the manufacturer in the owner’s packet.
C A U T I O N
Do not leave the generator seacock open while the boat is in motion and the generator is off. You
can use the generator while the boat is moving. However, when the generator is shut down the
intake seacock should be closed immediately. If the seacock remains open, excessive seawater may
be forced into the generator cooling system causing water to back up into the exhaust manifold.
W A R N I N G
Never turn the battery select switch to the “off” position with an engine (including generator)
running as this could damage the engine charging system or the diesel generator control panel.
W A R N I N G
End-of-Life (EOL): The carbon monoxide detector is equipped with a 5 year EOL timer, which
operates continuously and independently from a lithium battery. When the timer has run for 4
years and 11 months from the date of manufacture, the unit will signal the first EOL alarm: The
green LED will turn off, the red LED will turn on and the alarm will beep every 30 seconds.
To temporarily reset the device to normal operation after the EOL alarm occurs, press and hold
the test/silence button until both lights come on. It will be reset for 72 hours and this process can
be repeated for 30 days. After 30 days the unit will continuously signal EOL and must be
replaced, as it will no longer detect CO.
