as required. Coating the battery posts and cable
clamps with Teflon or silicone grease will protect
them and reduce corrosion.
Battery cables, both hot and ground, must be
replaced when they show signs of corrosion or
fraying. Deteriorated cables cause a considerable
voltage loss when high currents are drawn, such
as starting the engine.
A BATTERY CAN EXPLODE IF A FLAME OR SPARK
IGNITES THE HYDROGEN GAS THE BATTERY
EMITS WHILE BEING CHARGED. NEVER USE AN
OPEN FLAME IN THE BATTERY STORAGE AREA.
AVOID STRIKING SPARKS NEAR THE BATTERY.
AC Electrical System Maintenance
Periodically inspect all wiring for nicks, chafing,
brittleness, improper support, etc. Examine
each shore power cord closely for cracks in the
insulation and corrosion in electrical connectors.
Spraying receptacles and electrical connections
with an electrical contact cleaner or a metal and
electrical protector will reduce corrosion and im-
prove electrical continuity.
Inspect all wiring for proper support, sound insula-
tion, and tight terminals, paying particular atten-
tion to portable appliance cords and plugs.
The entire AC circuitry, especially the shore power
cords, should be seasonally tested for proper
continuity by an experienced electrician. This will
detect any shorts, open wires, or ground faults.
Ground fault interrupts should be tested periodi-
cally to ensure proper operation by pressing the
test/reset buttons in the center of face plate. The
polarity indicator system also should be inspected
for proper operation.
Generator Maintenance
The engine maintenance required on the genera-
tor is similar in many ways to the main engines.
The most important factors to the generator’s lon-
gevity are proper ventilation and maintenance of
the fuel system, ignition system, cooling system,
lubrication system and the AC alternator.
Maintenance schedules and procedures are out-
lined in your generator owner’s manual that has
been supplied with this manual. They should be
followed exactly.
CORROSION ALLOWED TO BUILD ON THE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS CAN CAUSE A POOR
CONNECTION RESULTING IN SHORTS, GROUND
FAULTS OR POOR GROUND CONNECTIONS.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS SHOULD CHECKED AT
LEAST ANNUALLY AND CLEANED AS REQUIRED.
DO NOT ALLOW CORROSION TO BUILD ON
CONNECTIONS.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY
OR EVEN DEATH. THE AC AND DC ELECTRICAL
SYSTEMS ALWAYS SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED
FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE INSPECTING
OR SERVICING THE SYSTEM. NEVER SERVICE
ANY COMPONENT OF AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE IT IS ENERGIZED.
