Some marinas have been known to
"break" shore power ground circuits to
prevent electrolysis. Opening the ground
circuit creates a potentially dangerous
onboard shock hazard. Use caution when
using a "break" shore power ground
circuit.
For further information regarding your shore
power system, please contact your Formula
dealer.

GENERATOR

Operate the blower for at least four
minutes each time before you start the
generator.
A diesel power generator may have a
preheat switch used during starting. Do
not exceed 30 minutes of preheat time or
the manifold heater and plugs can be
damaged.
The generator control panel is mounted on the
AC/DC control panel. The generator control panel
contains the blower switch and the Start/Stop
switch.
