Connecting To Shore Power; Parallel Switch (Only If Equipped With Dual Shore Power) - Bayliner 255 Cruiser Owner's Manual

255 Cruiser • Owner's Manual Supplement
• Single shore power 110-volt/60-hertz AC systems feature one 110-volt/30-amp shore power inlet.
• If your boat has an air conditioning system, a second (dual) 110-volt/30-amp inlet has been installed.
• Dual shore power inlets are labeled LINE 1 and LINE 2, which corresponds to the SHORE POWER 1 and
SHORE POWER 2 master breakers on the 110-volt AC master panel.
• LINE 1 and LINE 2 are independent of each other except when the parallel switch is used.

Connecting to Shore Power

SHOCK and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.
• If a reversed polarity light turns On when you are connecting to shore power, do NOT turn
On the main breaker switches.
• Instead, IMMEDIATELY unplug the shore power cord (ALWAYS from the dockside outlet
first) and alert marina management.
1. Review all hazard information at
the beginning of this section,
Shore Power.
2. Turn Off the shore power master
circuit breaker(s) and all
switches and breakers on the
110-volt AC master panel.
3. Attach the shore power cord(s)
to the boat inlet(s) first, then to
the dockside outlet(s).
4. Turn On the SHORE POWER 1
and SHORE POWER 2 (if
equipped) master breaker(s) on
the 110-volt AC master panel.
5. As needed, turn On the individ-
ual component breakers on the
110-volt AC master panel.

Parallel Switch (Only if Equipped with Dual Shore Power)

• When using the parallel switch do NOT exceed 30 total amps.
• The amperage of each component breaker is shown on the breaker itself.
• The voltage on each line can be read on the voltmeter on the 110-volt AC master panel.
When only one dockside outlet is available, you can use the parallel switch to provide power to both lines.
1. Connect to shore power as described in the Connecting to Shore Power section above.
2. Switch the parallel switch (transfers power from line 1 to line 2) On instead of the SHORE POWER 2
master breaker.
3. Turn On the individual component breakers as required.
