Owner’s Manual Supplement
Generator Power (Option)
Your yacht may come equipped with an optional
gas or diesel generator. Prior to initially operating
your generator, read the generator manual for infor-
mation on pre-start checks, break-in procedures and
detailed operating instructions.
Observe the following:
•
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.
•
Make sure the generator’s seawater pickup
system’s seacock is in the open position
before and during generator operation.
•
The generator’s starter switch and breakers are
located on the AC electrical panel.
•
Diesel generator: Activate the generator’s
preheat switch (located on the AC panel) for
approximately one minute before attempting
to start your diesel generator.
•
Gas generator: Simultaneously press the oil
pressure button and turn the starter switch
until the generator starts.
•
Fuel to run the generator is supplied from the
starboard fuel tank.
•
In addition to servicing the filters attached to the
generator, the fuel filters/separators (located near
the fuel shut-off valve) should be serviced as
described in the manufacturer’s manual.
•
The generator runs off the port engine battery.
•
The generator’s coolant mixture consists of
equal parts of water and antifreeze (Ethylene
Glycol). Coolant (antifreeze) levels should be
checked at the generator-mounted expansion
tank and at the coolant recovery bottle, located
near the generator.
•
Check the generator’s seawater strainer for leaks and clean out debris (see the Seawater Strainer section of this
supplement).

After starting the generator, wait for the generator to stabilize before activating component
breakers on the AC panel.
