• The generator can supply 120V/60Hz power to the yacht when it is not connected to shore 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, therefore the polarity lights will not function in
this mode.
• Fuel to run the main generator is supplied from the port fuel tank.
• In addition to servicing the filters attached to the generator, the filters/separators (located near the fuel line valves)
should be serviced as described in the manufacturer's manual.
• 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 port generator compartment hatch.
• Check the generator's seawater strainer for leaks and/or debris before each use.
• Oil pressure, water temperature, and voltage gauges are provided on the generator control panel, inside the AC/
DC cabinet on the port side of the salon. These gauges monitor the engine functions of your generator.
