SYSTEM OPERATIONS-49
GENERATOR SYSTEM (Optional)
As an option on your 34C, a Generator
System, manufactured by Kohler Com-
pany was factory installed at the Silverton
plant. If your 34C is equipped with gaso-
line powered engines, the generator will
have an 7.3 kilowatt rating and if equipped
with diesel powered engines, the gen-
erator will have a 5.0 kilowatt rating. As
discussed in the Fuel System Pages of
the Systems Operations section of this
Owner’s Manual, fuel is supplied to the
generator from either the starboard or
port fuel tank. The Generator System is
controlled by a breaker switch, located on
the AC/DC Electrical Panel (Check the
Electrical Pages of the Systems Opera-
tions Section of this manual). The system
START and STOP switch is also located
on the AC/DC Electrical Panel as is a slide
bar switch that permits you to change from
generator electrical power to shore elec-
trical power as desired. The Generator
System is located aft of the engine room.
Operation of the Generator System is as
follows:
Turn ON the Generator System battery
switch.
Check sea strainer for debris and re-
move, if noted.
Be certain the seawater intake valve that
services the generator is in the OPEN po-
sition. The valve is open when the handle
is parallel to the valve body. Although the
photos below are of the seawater intake
valves for the engine, and not the genera-
tor, the photos show the open and closed
positions of this type valve.
The photo above shows the valve closed.

Turn ON the breaker located on the
generator.

power mode.
