Be sure to operate the bilge blower for at least
four (4) minutes before starting engine or
generator, or whenever operating the engine(s)
at idle speed. Check the bilge blower output
before each use.
Fire or Explosion Hazard!
Only qualified personnel should install batteries
and perform electrical system maintenance. Do
not expose batteries to open flame or sparks.
Do not smoke near batteries.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide.
Review information regarding carbon monoxide
at Section B-2 - Carbon Monoxide and Section
E-2 - Engine Exhaust.
Poison!
Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe
burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or
clothing. Wear goggles, rubber gloves and
protective apron when working with batteries.
In case of skin contact, flush with water at least
Periodic generator maintenance as outlined in the
generator owner’s manual is necessary. Refer to the
manufacturer’s literature for more information.

minutes. If swallowed, drink large quantities
of water or milk. Follow with Milk of Magnesia,
beaten egg or vegetable oil. Get medical
attention immediately.
H - 11 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
A. Battery Maintenance
Disconnect the battery before working on
electrical or ignition system to prevent electrical
shock and accidental ignition.
Be sure to keep the batteries charged. Also, keep
the batteries clean, especially the terminals and
connection lugs. Be sure the batteries are fastened
securely while in use.
B. Electrical Wiring Maintenance
Check the battery fluid level often, especially when a
charger/converter is being used. Replenish a battery
indicating a low charge. Determine the reason for the
discharge. Lack of battery usage is as detrimental to
battery longevity as is overuse. Alternating battery
usage is important. Refer to the battery manufactur-
er’s instructions included with your battery.
Periodically, inspect all wiring for nicks, chaffing,
brittleness, improper support, etc. Examine the shore
power cord closely for insulation cracks and corrosion
in the electrical devices. Spraying the receptacles and
electrical connections with an electrical connection
cleaner will reduce corrosion and improve electrical
continuity.
Batteries produce hydrogen and oxygen gases
when being charged. These explosive gases
escape through the vent/fill caps and may form
an explosive atmosphere around the battery if
the ventilation is poor. This gas may remain
around the battery for several hours after
charging. Sparks or flames can ignite the gas
and cause an explosion.
DO NOT allow corrosion to build up on connec-
tions. Shorts or ground faults can result.
The entire 120 (220) volt circuitry, especially the shore
power cord, should be seasonally tested for proper
continuity by an experienced marine electrician. This
will help detect any short, open wire, or ground fault.
Also, check the polarity indicator system for proper
operation.
