Starting the Generator Remotely from the AC Panel - The
remote start/stop, hour meter and blower switch are all
located on the starboard aft cabin wall in close proximity to
the AC/DC panel. When using your generator to provide
power to the alternating current system, the slide mechanism
on the AC panel needs to be in the up position in order to
switch on the generator breaker.
To start the generator, hold the momentary on switch in the up (on) position (green light will come on), and
then hold the momentary start/stop switch in the up (start) position (both switches are held up together).
After approximately one second, the starter will engage and the engine will crank (the green light will dim).
Once the engine is running (the green light will brighten)), the starter will disengage, and the start/stop
switch may then be released to return to is center (run mode) position. Continue holding the on switch until
the engine has sufficient oil pressure, and then release it to its center position.
Note: Should the engine fail to start, release both switches, wait 20 seconds, and try again.
Never run the starter more than 20 seconds at a time.
To stop the generator, move the momentary start/stop switch to the down (stop) position then release it to
the center (off/run mode) position. This will de-energize the K2 run relay in the generator’s control panel
and stop the generator.
Note: The manufacturer of the generator provides the limited warranty for the generator

Please refer to the owner’s manual provided by the manufacturer of the generator for operational
procedures and for information related to the care and maintenance of their product. When in doubt, always
defer to the generator manufacturer’s instructions and/or recommendations.
Blower
The blower (standard with the optional gas generator) is located inside the bilge and helps keep fresh air
circulating in the bilge area. You should periodically check to make sure that the blower is working properly.
First, confirm that the blower hoses are connected and the blower itself is secured. Second, locate the
blower switch inside the cabin, installed in close proximity to the AC/DC panel, and press the switch to the
on position. Then, go back to the bilge area and listen to hear if the blower is running. The exhaust vents
are located on the outside of the transom on the port and starboard sides. Check to ensure that air is
blowing out of the vents. When finished, go back into the cabin and turn the blower switch off.
