Inverter Power; Generator Power (Option) - Bayliner 3788 Command Bridge Owner's Manual

SHOCK/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Never connect dockside power to your boat outside North America unless you have pur-
chased the International electrical conversion option, which is rated for 220-volt/50 Hertz.
North American systems are rated for 110-volt/60 Hertz power.
• Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances when possible.
• When using shore power, the simultaneous operation of several AC accessories can result in
an overloaded circuit. It may be necessary to turn off one accessory while operating another.
Before connecting to shore power, ensure all breakers and switches on the AC master panel are in the OFF position.
always attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first; then to the dockside connection to prevent shock or injury
from an accidental dropping of the "hot" cord into the water.
SHOCK/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DAMAGE HAZARD!
Monitor the electrical control panel's polarity indicators when connecting shore power to your
boat. A GREEN light illuminating after the power cord is plugged into the boat's external
power receptacle indicates acceptable electrical power in which you may energize the main
breaker switches. A RED light, however, indicates reversed polarity, which could cause electri-
cal system damage and possibly electrical shock injuries. In this case, DO NOT energize the
main breaker switches. Instead, immediately disconnect the shore power cord (always from the
dockside outlet first) and notify marina management.
Check for proper polarity as outlined in the warning above. Each dockside inlet is labeled above the weatherproof
cover, line 1 or line 2, which corresponds to the line each operates on the AC master panel. This system is designed
so that each line operates independent of the other. Activate the AC system by first turning on the master breakers,
then each individual component as required. Voltage on each line can be read by setting the voltmeter selector switch.

Inverter Power

The inverter operation manual, in your yacht's owner's packet, describes inverter operating procedures in detail. We
strongly recommend that you thoroughly read and understand the inverter manual before using the inverter. The
inverter is located in the utility room, under the mid berth.
Activate the AC system under inverter power by switching ON the inverter master breaker (located on the starboard
side of the cockpit) and pressing the on/off switch on the inverter control panel (located above the AC master panel in
the AC/DC cabinet). The inverter provides AC power to receptacles and the microwave oven only.

Generator Power (Option)

Your yacht may come equipped with a generator. Prior to initially operating your generator we strongly urge you to
read the manufacturer's operating instructions included in the owner's packet. Always observe the following:
• Follow instructions in the generator manual for pre-start checks and break-in procedures.
• The starter switch is on the AC electrical panel (located on the port side of salon).
1. Open the generator seawater intake valve before starting the generator. The seawater intake valve must remain
open during generator operation, and the seawater strainer should be checked frequently for leaks and/or debris.
2. Operate the bilge blowers for a minimum of four minutes before starting the generator. Leave the blowers on
while the generator is operating unless the yacht is running at cruising speed.
3. Diesel generator; turn the pre-heat switch to the ON position and allow one minute for pre-heating.
Gas generator; simultaneously press the oil pressure button and turn the starter switch until the generator starts.
