Battery Selector Switches - Formula Fastech Service Manual

Macerator Control—Controls operation of the
macerator waste system. Your Formula boat may
be equipped with a macerator system that allows
the discharging of waste water directly overboard
through a seacock. The macerator control is
located in the head compartment (Figure 4-31).
The macerator overboard Y-valve must be opened
to allow discharge of the waste, but the switch
operates independently of the Y-valve's position.
For additional operating information, refer to the
macerator operator's manual.
CAUTION
Overboard discharge of waste water
should only be used in approved areas. It
is your responsibility to comply with local
regulations regarding the discharge of
waste. You could be fined if your boat has
an operable overboard discharge system.
Removing the handle of the seacock while
in a closed position, or disabling the
system by other means may be required to
avoid a fine.
CAUTION: BEFORE OPERATING MACERATOR;
1. SWITCH Y-VALVE TO DIRECT FLOW TO MACERATOR
2. OPEN SEACOCK
3. PRESS AND HOLD SWITCH TO DISCHARGE WASTE
4. RELEASE SWITCH WHEN WASTE IS DISCHARGED
5. CLOSE SEACOCK
NOTICE:
COAST GUARD REGULATIONS DO NOT ALLOW DISCHARGING
OF NON-TREATED WASTE IN FRESH WATER BODIES OR
IN SALT WATER BODIES, WITHIN THREE MILES OF SHORE.

BATTERY SELECTOR
SWITCHES
Your Formula boat is equipped with a battery
switch for each engine. The switch provides
isolation and positive disconnect of the battery to
protect against tampering, electrical fire hazards
and draining the battery's power. The battery
switch used in each Formula boat is dependent
upon model and engine options.
Typical Single Engine Battery Switch—This
battery switch (Figure 4-32) connects one or two
batteries to the electrical circuit of an engine.
Rotate the switch to:
• No. 1 position – Power supplied to engine and
12 VDC system from battery 1 (engine
alternator recharges battery 1).
• No. 2 position – Power supplied to engine and
12 VDC system from battery 2 (engine
alternator recharges battery 2).
• ALL position – Power supplied to engine and
12 VDC system from batteries 1 and 2 (engine
alternator recharges batteries 1 and 2).
• OFF position – Neither the engine or 12 VDC
MACERATOR
system is supplied with power.
FOR222
Note: Power is supplied to the bilge pumps, high
water alarm, stereo memory, and galvanic
protection system through the constant power
circuit, independent of the battery switch position
(i.e., these components receive power even with
the battery switch in the OFF position).
