Starting Generator
The following generator
starting information is
speci
fi ed for use at the
ship’s main control panel
located in the salon.
It also
assumes that the checklist on
the last page has been completed and all system components are in
good condition.
For further information, contact your closest
Regal yacht dealer or refer to the generator operation
manual.
1. Turn “on” the generator seacock in the engine room.
2. Check the ship’s main control panel to ensure shore main
and all equipment breakers are deactivated.
3. At the ship’s main control panel fi nd the generator
switch cluster. Push down on the “on” switch and hold
approximately 4 to 5 seconds. This provides a preheat cycle
for the generator.
4. While holding the “on” switch down push down on the
“start” switch. This will engage the generator starter to
crank over the gen-set engine.
5. Once the generator starts, release both the “on” and
“start” switches.
6. Let the generator run without a load for several
minutes.
6. At the ship’s main control panel slide the transfer bar
completely to the left. This will permit the 60 amp AC
generator breaker to be activated. To activate the breaker
fl ip it up. At this point AC voltage should display on the
AC line voltage meter.
7. At this point activate the desired AC equipment
breakers.
Stopping Generator
To stop the generator follow these steps at the ship’s main
control panel.
1. Turn to the “off ” position all AC equipment breakers.
2. Turn to the “off ” position the 60 amp AC generator
breaker. At this point, no AC line voltage will be displayed
at the AC volt meter. Let the generator run for 3-5 minutes
without a load to cool down.
3. Stop the generator by pressing down the “stop” switch
at the main panel generator switch cluster. Hold it down
until the generator stops running.
4. If desired plug in the appropriate dockside cord. Slide
the transfer bar completely to the right. Flip up the shore
main 60 amp breaker for dockside power. AC voltage
should display on the AC line voltage meter.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS
1. With generator main control panel ac-
tivated there is no voltage at the AC line
voltage meter. Check AC output breaker
on the generator. It may of tripped due to
an overload.
2. The generator quit do to overheating. Check the gen-
erator strainer for obstructions such as seaweed, plastic,
or shell
fi sh. Be sure to turn off seacock before removing
the strainer basket.
3. The generator will not start from the main ship’s panel
after being serviced. Make sure the generator mounted
switch is in the “run” position.
4. The generator will not crank over to start. Check the
port cranking battery by starting the port engine. If it
starts battery is up. Then check all generator battery con-
nections. Tighten any loose connections.
