H - 10 GENERATOR
ALWAYS check the reverse polarity indicator
light in the AC distribution panel immediately
upon connecting the shore power cord before
turning on the AC SHORE POWER circuit
breaker. If the light is on, a problem with a
reversed electrical connection exists.
Disconnect the shore power cord immediately.
Notify the marina and have the dock’s shore
power connection inspected.
A generator is optional on the 310 Horizon™ models.
It.provides.120.Volt.AC.power.when.the.boat.is.away.
from.the.dock..The.generator.can.be.operated.while.
running.at.or.below.cruising.speed...The.generator.
should.not.be.operated.when.the.boat.is.being.run.at.
high speeds. Insufficient cooling water may be
available.due.to.the.speed.
A.generator.factory.installed.by.Four.Winns.is.capable.
of providing sufficient power for most electrical needs
including.microwaving,.refrigeration,.and.air.condition-
ing...It.is.possible.to.overload.the.generator.by.trying.
to.operate.too.much.equipment.at.one.time..The.
circuit.breaker.that.protects.the.output.circuits.on.the.
generator.set.will.trip.should.that.occur..See.the.
generator manufacturers information for specifications
and.additional.details.
Under.proper.operating.conditions,.the.reverse.
polarity.indicator.light.will.not.be.on..A.green.light.is.
provided for the shore power and will be “ON” when
dockside.power.is.being.used.
NOTICE
Some marina shore power systems may be
improperly grounded to retard electrolysis
(see Section H- - Stray Current Corrosion).
Before using any 0 volt equipment, make
sure the reverse polarity light does not activate
when connecting the cord to the inlet.
If.you.wish.to.use.dockside.power,.be.sure.the.
generator.is.off,.connect.the.shore.power.cords.as.
explained.in.Section.H8A..Place.the.selector.switch.to.
the “SHORE” position and turn on the Shore Power
MAIN.breakers.on.the.AC.cabin.panel.and.at.the.
transom.
D. Ground Fault Current Interrupters (GFCI)
If.you.wish.to.use.generator.power:.
The.ground.fault.current.interrupter.(GFCI).is.a.device.
which.protects.against.hazardous.electrical.shock.
from.improper.ground..An.appliance.electrical.cord.
with.worn.insulation.or.damp.equipment.may.have.
stray.current.which.will.run.through.electrical.grounds...
Stray.current.as.above.will.result.in.an.electrical.
shock..

2..
Be.sure.the.shore.power.cord(s).are.disconnected..
Check.the.bilge.for.fumes,.operate.the.blower.for.
at.least.4.minutes,.and.verify.blower.operation.
3..
Open.the.generator’s.seacock.valve.(labeled.
GENERATOR) to allow water flow to the genera-
tor.for.cooling.purposes.
One.GFCI.receptacle.will.protect.all.of.the.receptacles.
on.the.circuit..A.GFCI.may.be.used.as.a.receptacle.as.
well.as.an.interrupter.
NOTICE
In order to use the generator, you must first
open the seacock valve (handle parallel to the
flow of valve). Failure to open seacock valve
while running generator will cause generator to
overheat and possible failure. When not using
the generator be sure to close the seacock.
To.test:
Push.the.black.test.button.and.the.red.reset.button.
should.pop.out.from.the.inner.surface..The.receptacle.
and.the.circuit.are.now.off..
Push.the.reset.button.in.until.it.clicks.to.reset.it..If.it.
does.not.reset,.there.is.either.a.short.in.the.circuit.or.
the.equipment.being.used,.or.a.ground.fault.in.the.
equipment..Unplug.all.appliances.and.reset.the.GFCI...
One.at.a.time,.plug.the.equipment.back.in.and.turn.it.
on..The.item.that.causes.the.GFCI.to.trip.is.the.
problem.item.and.should.not.be.used.

Turn.the.selector.switch.on.the.AC. panel.to.the.
“GEN” position.
