•
When your yacht is not con-
nected to shore power, the
generator can supply 110-
volt/60-hertz power.
•
Before using the generator,
read the generator operation
manual for pre-start checks
and break-in procedures.
•
Refer to the generator man-
ual for starting/stopping
instructions.
Important generator notes:
•
Polarity has been established
in the installation of the gen-
erator. Therefore the polarity
lights will not function when
using the generator.
•
Fuel to run the generator is
supplied from the starboard
fuel tank.
•
Periodically replace the filter
on the generator to make sure it remains clean and free of debris.
•
Diesel generators also have a fuel filter/water separator. Service instructions are provided on the fuel filter/water
separator.
•
The coolant mixture installed at the factory consists of equal parts of water and antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol).
•
Check the generator’s seawater strainer for leaks and/or debris before each use.
Combo-sep Generator Mufflers
•
The combo-sep muffler has two exhaust hoses. The hose equipped with a seacock discharges the exhaust water
while the other hose discharges the exhaust gas.
•
The seacock’s purpose is to balance the flow of the exhaust gas and water (see Balancing the Combo-sep
Exhaust below).
Balancing the Combo-sep Exhaust
For proper system operation follow the steps below to balance the flow of the exhaust gas and water in this two hose
system:
1. Fully open the water drain exhaust’s seacock.
2. Start the generator and make sure it is running and stabilized at its normal power and load setting.
3. Observe the flow of water from the water drain thru-hull fitting. The bubbling at the exit point is exhaust gas
mixed with the water.
4. Close the seacock in small increments until the bubbles at the exit point disappear. NOTE: After each small
adjustment of the seacock, wait at least 30 seconds to one minute before checking for bubbles.
5. Now observe the upper gas exhaust thru-hull. Although the exhaust from the upper thru-hull will never be com-
pletely dry, it should be free of any large water droplets.
