GENERATOR OPTION/TYPICAL PANEL
Before Activating Generator
Read and understand the blower warning label shown
above. Before attempting to start the generator make sure
all equipment switches and shore power breakers on the
main ship’s panel along with the generator sub panel are
in the “off ” position. This procedure assists in eliminating
any voltage equipment surges upon generator start-up.
Ensure that the generator switch is off on the sub panel.
Make sure the generator seacock is in the “open” position.
It is located in the sump. Also, make sure the generator
fuel valve is in the “open” positon.
Typical Generator Start-Up
At this point start the blower switch and allow to run for
at least 4 minutes before starting the generator. After
runing the blower for at least 4 minutes energize the
momenary start switch and release. The generator will
start. While the generator warms up check immediately
for water at the generator exhaust thru-hull fitting.
Shut down the generator switch immediately if no water
is exiting the generator exhaust thru-hull fitting.
Generator Shutdown
Generator Transfer
The generator is now ready to transfer A.C. current to
the applicable equipment components.
Position the generator switch to the “on” mode and at
the same time push the transfer bar to the right. This will
result in the generator switch set to a full “on” position.
At this point, turn the A.C ship’s main panel shore power
breaker to the “on” position. Equipment breakers can
now be activated as needed.
Note: Never flip the main ship’s panel shore power
breaker to the “off ” position with equipment
breakers still being activated as it could cause
generator/component circuit damage.
To shut the generator down deactivate any equipment
breakers on the main panel. Deactivate the main ship’s
panel shore power breaker. Move the transfer bar to the
left which will force the generator breaker to the
“off ”position. Touch the generator stop toggle switch and
release. The generator will stop.
