GENERATING A.C. POWER
Starting the Engine
Start the engine and let it warm up for two or three minutes.
Turn the ship’s A.C. load off at the main breaker panel. Now
turn the “Ship/Shore” switch to the SHIP or GEN position. Turn
on some of the panel breaker switches until the generator is
lightly loaded. Give the engine a few minutes to reach operating
temperature, then load it to your electrical requirements.
Stopping the Engine
Before stopping the engine, switch off the individual A.C. loads
and turn the “Ship/Shore” to the OFF or SHORE position. Let
the engine run without load for three to five minutes so it can
cool down.
NOTE: If the unit has been operating under heavy load
and stopped without a cooling off period, residual heat
from the lower end of the engine can migrate upward and
trip the Water Temperature Switch. If this happens, the
alarm system will prevent re-starting the engine until it
has completely cooled down.
Operation EW-4200D
EMERGENCY STOP
If the engine cannot be stopped by the remote control system it
can be stopped manually with the Throttle Control (5/11). The
control arm is located below the Fuel Transfer Pump. Rotate the
arm clockwise to the stop and hold it there until the engine
comes to a complete stop. Return the arm to the full counter-
clockwise position after the engine stops.
CAUTION: This is not a speed control. DO NOT!
DO NOT! attempt to adjust this control.
