Generator - Bavaria 46 2013 Information & Operation Manual

6. Generator

Kibo is fitted with its own generator which will run the 110v outlets, two of the three air
conditioning units and will also charge the batteries in place of the engine. The generator is
located behind the door in the port aft cabin
The generator is self-monitoring and therefore no checks need to be performed on a daily
basis. If there is something wrong the generator will simply not start, or shut itself down if it
is already running.
To start the generator:
Make sure the 110v systems are off prior to starting the generator.
•
Locate the generator / shore power selector switches below the 12v panel. Ensure that
•
you have switched from shore power to generator.
Press the 'on/off' button and you will see the start panel light up. Press the 'start' button
•
and hold it until you hear the generator start up.
Allow the generator to warm up for 5 minutes and then gradually load up the system,
•
adding one load every 3 minutes. Note that only two of the air conditioning units
can be run at the same time.
Stopping the generator
Turn off all 110v systems including the Air Conditioning.
•
Allow the generator to cool down without load for 5 mins.
•
Press the 'on/off' button and the generator will close down.
•
