If.a.problem.exists,.the.reverse.polarity.indicator.light.
will.come.on.when.the.shore.power.cable.is.attached.

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.318.Vista .models..It.
®
provides.120.Volt.(220V).AC.power.when.the.boat.is.
away.from.the.dock..The.generator.can.be.operated.
while.running.at.or.below.cruising.speed...The.genera-
tor.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.cooking,.refrigeration,.and.air.conditioning...
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.H-8A,.and.turn.on.the.Shore.
Power.breakers.on.the.AC.cabin.panel..If.you.wish..
