Generator

It is recommended that you read and understand
the information in the manufacturers owners
manual before operating the generator.
The gas powered generator is driven by a self
contained engine and provides 120 Volt Alternating
Current, (AC). Connections to the AC electrical
system are made through cables connected to the
slide selector switch on the AC distribution panel.
The generator has a built in cooling pump which
draws cooling water through a seacock located in
the aft machinery compartment. This water passes
through a strainer before entering the engine cooling
manifold.
