• When your yacht is not connected to
shore power, the generator can sup-
ply 110V/60Hz power.
• Before using the generator, read the
generator operation manual for pre-
start checks and break-in procedures.
Note the following about
the generator:
• Polarity has been established in the
installation of the generator, there-
fore the polarity lights will not func-
tion in this mode.
• 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 fil-
ter/water separator. Service instruc-
tions for the fuel filter/water
separator are provided on the filter.
• The coolant mixture installed at the
factory consists of equal parts of water and antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol).
• The coolant bottle for the generator is located inside the lazarette.
• Check the generator’s seawater strainer for leaks and/or debris before each use.
• Gauges are provided on the generator control panel. These gauges monitor the engine functions of your generator.
