E NE RAL RE COMME NDATIONS
Certain vessels are equipped (as either standard or optional features depending on the model)with a 110 V or 230 V circuit.
The following measures are recommended in order to avoid the danger of electrical shock and fire:
- Never work on a live electric fitting.
- Plug in the boat/shore supply cable on board before plugging into the shore supply socket.
- Never let the end of the boat/shore supply cable hang in the water.
- Turn off the shore supply with the onboard cut-off device before connecting or disconnecting the vessel/shore supply
line.
- Disconnect the vessel/shore supply line at the shore socket first.
- Check the polarity indicator for the shore connections (110V AC version).
- If the reverse polarity indicator is activated immediately disconnect the line. Rectify the polarity fault before using the
vessel's electrical installation.
- Close the shore supply input cover firmly after use.
- Do not modify the vessel/shore supply line connections; only use compatible connections.
- Do not alter the vessel's electrical system. The installation, modifications and maintenance must be carried out by a
qualified marine electricity technician. Check the system at least twice a year.
- Disconnect the vessel supply when the system is not being used. This is to prevent the danger of fire.
- Use electrical appliances with a double insulation or earthing.
Note that the live wires are brown, the neutral ones are blue and the earth wires are green and yellow.

RE CAUTION
- Never modify an electric fitting and relevant
diagrams yourself.
- Call in a technician skilled in marine electricity to
carry out any electric modification.
- Never change the breaking capacity (amperage) of
the overcurrent safety devices.
- Never install or replace the electric appliances (or
any electric equipement) by
exceeding the capacity (amperage) of the circuit
(Watt for bulbs).
